Flashbelt 2008

fb08.gif

Flashbelt this year was fabulous— this is the third year I have attended. Kudos to Dave Schroeder; he not only puts together an amazing conference, but makes it look fun enough that he was the one who inspired me to get into the conference biz last year with MinneWebCon (and he was a key advisor for us with that event).

Highlights of this year include a return visit by Jared Tarbell; a user-centered design session by Jason Sack of space150 (who presented at MinneWebCon, but I was too busy managing to pay attention); and a great session on accessible Flash enhancements.

More details to follow...and hopefully some more links, if their presentations make it online. =)

Or, maybe that's just a lot of light streaming in through the windows?

A photo of the planning committee, taken at the end of MinneWebCon, yesterday's incredibly-successful University of Minnesota web conference.
