Good Morning Studio @ InfoCamp 2009
This past weekend, we decided at the last minute to attend InfoCamp 2009 - Seattle’s burgeoning annual “unconference” for the information community - and we’re glad we did! This year they packed in a few hundred people, from librarians and information managers to web and software developers to interaction / user experience designers. We loved the come-as-you-are attitude (allowing anyone who felt compelled to start up their own discussion session) and enthusiasm for generating some exchange between these disciplines. The opening speakers were also great - with Axel Roesler on the shifting roles of designers and some welcome advice on the challenges we face both internally and in collaboration, followed by Vanessa Fox with an illuminating and surprisingly entertaining look at search engine optimization (SEO). The whole thing was really well-coordinated and just open-ended enough to keep it from feeling too stifling. A big thanks to everyone we met for your insight and inspiration!
If you couldn’t make it out, be sure to follow @infocamp on Twitter for updates on next year’s event - we’ll see you there!
