I'm very pleased to be chatting in Vancouver at Web Directions North next February. About Flickr and stuff. I look forward to the chilliness, talking shop, and seeing Vankie mates.
I must admit, I'm curious about the idea of "conference" getting a facelift. I think it's much easier to sleep in a room of hundreds of people just listening to a talking head than it is in a room with twenty other people where you must engage.
