The IA Summit is my most favoritest conference of the whole year. It's a wonderful mixture of old friends getting together and meeting smart, cool new folks. I hardly ever sign up for pre-con sessions (though they are AWESOME and everyone should take one sometime) because I use the first two days for hanging out the in the lobby and saying hi to folks.
This year I finally managed to talk Erik into attending with me. I think he's a little bit overwhelmed with all the people and hugging, so be gentle. But I'm so excited for him to finally meet all you guys that I'm always talking about.
I met so many wonderfully crafty IAs last year when I did my Wireframe as Art poster. I decided that this year we should have an impromptu IA Knitting Circle meeting. So pack up your yarn and needles and bring them to the poster session on Saturday night. I figure we can wander around the posters and then clump and knit. It will be great. And don't worry if you don't knit. Any crafty-type person is welcome. And even those who aren't crafty are certainly welcome. It's about getting to know each other a bit outside the work we do.
See you in the sessions!
