And thanks T...Hey Kiki...thanks for the shout out. And thanks Tom for bringing up this important point. I hadn't really thought about the absence of the companies you mention while at the conference. I guess I am so used to them NOT being represented at such events. But I do think of them all the time in terms of companies I'd like to get to know better. The people I have met from VistaPrint and TripAdvisor--in my solo travels--have been very gracious. The UnConference would have been a perfect place to share their knowledge. But maybe they just weren't directly invited?julespierihttp://julespieri.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319274608371073122.post-67832870169262007602009-10-19T16:08:25.000-07:002009-10-19T16:08:25.000-07:00I can only speak for the groups that I've been...I can only speak for the groups that I've been a part of. I know TripAdvistor, Fidelity, AutoDesk have all hosted events for the BostonUPA (Usability Professionals Association) group. I've also seen TripAdvisor hosting TechCocktail. <br><br>Monster and Staples have both sponsored Word Usability Day events in the past. iRobot has hosted events for BostonCHI and UPA. UPA and CHI are two local design & interaction groups that i'm involved with so I know that these groups are responsive when we ask.Greghttp://www.raizlabs.comnoreply@blogger.com
