For just on a month we’ve been run­ning a forum ask­ing for ideas for how we can make Web Directions South this year even bet­ter than it has been in pre­vi­ous years. Lost of good things have come from this, includ­ing ideas and leads for how we can have real cof­fee at the con­fer­ence, or birds of a feather ses­sions and other net­work­ing ideas.

Just this week John and I have started really think­ing about the pro­gram, so, now is the time for you to sub­mit an idea for a ses­sion. In par­tic­u­lar, if you are keen to present, we want to hear from you! Anything that gets sub­mit­ted in the next cou­ple of weeks will cer­tainly be seri­ously con­sid­ered. We’ve never liked to use terms like “call for papers” as that would make us sound like a way more aca­d­e­mic event than we are, but, effec­tively, that’s what this is. If you’ve worked on some­thing cool, inter­est­ing and gen­er­al­is­able that you think oth­ers would ben­e­fit from hear­ing about, please sub­mit it at the forum — just make sure we can work out who you are :)

   I would like to see more advanced ses­sions on web strat­egy, usabil­ity and inter­ac­tion design. Talking to other atten­dees that I met at WD 2008, a con­sis­tent themes was that we felt that althought the ses­sions were enjoy­able, some of them were at a basic level of under­stand­ing and as such we did not get a great deal from the session.

   Thanks Daniel. Yes, this was some­thing we have estab­lished from the feed­back our­selves as well. Be assured that this year we will be upping the ante a lit­tle in terms of the level of the content.
