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
