A quick note for vis­i­tors new and old, that Web Directions North will be launch­ing next week. We are just final­iz­ing speak­ers and work­shops, so that when we launch, you’ll know exactly why you should be coming.

This year, Web Directions North moves to Denver, Colorado, for a whole host of rea­sons (but don’t fear Canada, we’ve got more planned for your shores, most likely at a less chilly time of year).

A few folks have asked us whether we’ll still be going ahead, despite the cur­rent finan­cial uncer­tainty, but here at Web Directions we like to take to heart the adage of Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) who steered the US through both the Depression and the Second World War — “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”.

I’m sure the com­ing months might not be as easy as one might hope, for our indus­try and beyond. But it is a time of great inno­va­tion and excite­ment, and we feel it’s not the time to head for the hills. Hopefully many in the indus­try will share our quiet optimism.

For more on the con­fer­ence, see the Web Directions North site, but the key details are
