I happy to announce that just officially signed up for FITC 2006, Canada’s first and foremost Design and Technology Festival. This will be my third year in attendance and I’m very excited about this years line up. A few of the Speakers/Sessions I’ve been eyeing include:
- ActionScript 3.0 with Colin Moock
- Extending XML by Brendan Lynch
- Magic, Deception and The Data Experience
- The Open Source Flash Revolution
- Developing a VJ tool with Flash
- Design and Happiness by Stefan Sagmeister
- Playing with Data by Ben Fry
- Sustaining Creativity by Margo Knight (I attended this one last year but I found her presentation so inspiring that I might just have to give it another go.)
I’m sure the list will grow with time, but for now I see plenty to keep both my left and right brain happy.
Had a quick hunt around the net. Do you know if they provide podcasts of old festivals? Like the ones you can find on http://www.itconversations.com. Pop!Tech is my favorite.
Unfortunately I don’t think that there are any podcasts from past conferences. It’s amazing how much things have changed in a year – at the last conference most speakers posted their notes and PowerPoints online but now that podcasting has become far more accessible I expect that a few podcasts/videocasts will come out of this years conference. I’ll keep you posted. ;)
Thanks for the link to the podcasts on IT conversations – lots of great stuff there! If only I had the time to sit down and listen.
