DMI Milan: First Stream of Impressions

guido stompff's workshopWhile I’m still trying to catch up with my email stuff that I’ve postponed last week due to my wild DMI conference twittering (@iterations on twitter) some colleagues of mine with Erik Roscam Abbing (@roscamabbing on twitter) at the lead have posted their photos and shared their impressions.

As always Erik has followed a really nice approach on documenting and reporting from the conference. Instead of making long postings (like I do from time to time ;-) he upload a selection of photos he’s done over the 2,5 conference days and explained & commented on them. The result is a great photo journal that creates a nice mashup of Flickr! and blogging. Leave your comments and/or Flickr! notes on the various shots. I’ve also left some already mostly making fun of myself ;-)

Second in row is Henri Laupmaa from Estonia. Henri has been part of a pretty large group of people form Estonia who attended the conference. As it seems there is some good growing awareness on Design & Design Management over there since Estonian companies also won in some of the categories of the DME Award (Design Management Europe Award) in 2007. See his photo series here.

UPDATE:

In the meantime conference attendee Arne van Oosterom (@designthinkers on twitter) has uploaded his pictures from the #dmimilan conference as well. Arne has been one of the contacts that emerged from being connected on twitter and later on turned into a real ‘real’ connection at the conference. From my view Arne is one of the emerging authorities in Service Design (even though some other people claim this for themselves as well; but as a third party I’m allowed to say that ;-) What I like about Arne is his unpretentious attitude towards Service Design and he proved to be a really open minded person.
