Last year, Adobe became involved with Web Directions, as a key sup­porter. For those of your who’d been to pre­vi­ous con­fer­ences, I hope you felt that across the board, the qual­ity of the con­fer­ence had improved — from the venue, to the num­ber of ses­sions and tracks, to the par­ties and recep­tions, and beyond.

We took a big leap of faith in 2007, choos­ing a venue, and for­mat that were def­i­nitely going to increase dra­mat­i­cally the risks asso­ci­ated with the con­fer­ence, but which promised to make for an even bet­ter experience.

What prob­a­bly tipped us over to tak­ing the risk (which we feel paid off won­der­fully, given the responses we’ve had to the event last year from speak­ers, atten­dees, sup­port­ers, the press and more) was the sup­port of folks like specif­i­cally Adobe. Financially it under­wrote some of the big new expenses we needed to incur to make such a world class event hap­pen, but just as the impor­tant was the recog­ni­tion of such a sig­nif­i­cant, highly respected com­pany like Adobe. To us that was really an impor­tant mile­stone in the growth of the conference.

Adobe are back again this year, exhibit­ing, as well as sup­port­ing as a key sup­porter — so make sure you see what they have to show you at their Expo stand. They’ll have experts across their tech­nol­ogy range show­ing off cool stuff, and there for you to pick their brains.

Thanks once more to Adobe for this sup­port. It really does make a huge dif­fer­ent to the qual­ity of the conference.
