event

@Media London

★★★★☆ I find myself writing another good review, maybe this is biased by my love of the interweb. But at media was just great.

I have come away having learnt some great gems, Jason Santa Maria gave me, and the rest of the audience, a great insight into design, nearly as good as that delivered by my design hero Jon Hicks.

Drew McLellan and Simon Collinson made me laugh and showed how passionate they can be about the industry.

Tantek Celik did not dissapoint but he was preaching to the converted, it did make me think though ( I will explain more in my upcoming blog post - What is a Microformat?)

Joe Clark, well what can I say he says it like it is!!

Mr Jon Hicks so good he gets mentioned twice

Jeremy Keith was right on message and thought provoking too, although I have heard some of it before (through his workshops,books and dconstruct) I still enjoyed it (Got another post brewing for that one title a secret at present)

Hakon Wium Lie, I got to say sorry bit dissappointing, good to be in the presence of such a guy but I felt I need to know a little less about Opera and more about the CSS.

Andy Clarke - all of the above entertaining, though provoking and excellent at promoting johnny foreigner makes me proud to be British.

The hot topics panel was good

Location OK
Food excellent for a conference !
The paper based feedback form -just felt right- online doesn’t always work
