I’ve just signed up for FOWD in London April 17-18. I’m sure I’m not quite cool enough for it, but the speaker list reads like a who’s who of high profile webbers, so it should be an interesting couple of days. I’d love to go out to South by Southwest in Texas next year, so far I haven’t been able to justify the cost (and probably won’t be able to next year either!).
I don’t think we’ll actually be discussing the future of web design, probably more about current web design. Nic says the web’s going to be your desktop within a few years – he’s probably right, it’s already happening. Google Docs has become my most used software after Photoshop and Firefox, and despite a few flaws, Basecamp’s become essential for bigger projects.
Anyway I’m looking forward to “interacting with innovators and thought leaders from across the design community” as FOWD put it on their pitch! See you there?
