More or less unnoticed within the usual “noise” a few minutes ago my newsreader has informed me that Victor Lombardi has posted a short first impression summary from “Overlap 07” which took place from June 15-17 in Toronto, Canada.
Have I been the only one who did not recognize this event to take place or has this been some sort of ‘coterie’ event this year in contrast to more open promotion last year? – Anyway slightly envious I must admit that I find the list of speakers and topics highly interesting and I clearly would have wished to attend … not only because it seems to break with the ‘usual’ (no example link to be published, yet – I’ll give the organisation one more try ;-) conference model.
On the other hand I’ve been lucky enough to attend another equally fun and interesting conference ‘reboot9’ in Copenhagen two weeks ago as well. Even though clearly different in terms of content and direction, but equally ‘affordable’ and inspired by breaking with the usual ‘buddy network’ and ‘show me your business card’ attitude.
Find good reviews of reboot9 here (written by blog friend Ton Zylstra) as well as here. Hope Victor and his peers will do a similar wrap-up …
