Year round learning for product, design and engineering professionals

Web Directions North – launching next week

A quick note for visitors new and old, that Web Directions North will be launching next week. We are just finalizing speakers and workshops, so that when we launch, you’ll know exactly why you should be coming.

This year, Web Directions North moves to Denver, Colorado, for a whole host of reasons (but don’t fear Canada, we’ve got more planned for your shores, most likely at a less chilly time of year).

A few folks have asked us whether we’ll still be going ahead, despite the current financial uncertainty, but here at Web Directions we like to take to heart the adage of Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) who steered the US through both the Depression and the Second World War – “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”.

I’m sure the coming months might not be as easy as one might hope, for our industry and beyond. But it is a time of great innovation and excitement, and we feel it’s not the time to head for the hills. Hopefully many in the industry will share our quiet optimism.

For more on the conference, see the Web Directions North site, but the key details are
