Conferenceitis
When I were a lad web design didn’t exist. Well, it sort of did, but it consisted of programmers wrapping an <H1> in <FONT COLOR=RED> or, if they were really creative, using <BLINK> or <MARQUEE>. You crazy kids have no idea just how cool that was at the time.
Now there are web design conferences every month, in every corner of the world (almost) and, coming soon, a web conference which exists only online. There are even unconferences, like the upcoming BarCamp London. Who’d have thought it?
I don’t have the cash to fly around the globe to the big ones like SXSWi, although I did go to RailsConf in Berlin last year and I’d really like to be going to RubyFringe (just how cool is that website?) in July. Luckily, the UK, and in particular London, has more than it’s fair share, so I’m taking full advantage in the coming weeks:
FreeAgent is an official sponsor of both The Highland Fling and Future of Web Design this year, so we’ll all be there at both events, hunting down freelancers and trying to spread the word.
