@media2007

On Thursday and Friday of last week I attended the @media2007 Europe conference in London. I took a ridiculous amount of notes (using OmniOutliner which I am loving for taking meeting notes right now) but will try and condense those into a brief round-up of the sessions I attended.

There were many more highlights than lowlights for me during the two days. I felt that the quality of speakers was excellent and it was well pitched for the mixed crowd. It felt less crowded and busy than last year, one didn’t have to queue for ages to get food or coffee, and there were plenty of places to have a quiet chat with people between sessions. The biggest downside was the lack of wi-fi. I’m not going to have a big rant about it here but we are connected people, more so every year, the things we use and need are online. I can completely understand the issues surrounding providing internet access for so many people, however I can’t believe that in 2007 this isn’t a solved or solvable problem.
