Helping with the Brighton Digital Festival, staging Update 2011, teaching kids at local schools to program, flying to Sweden to teach my iOS workshop, speaking at Improving Reality, and attending dConstruct and Flash on the Beach… I have quite a month ahead.
I just put a new iteration of the Update conference web site live, inspired by and in collaboration with designer Clare Sutcliffe. About a week or so ago, Clare – quite out of the blue – sent me an iteration on the Update site design that I absolutely adored. In organizing Update I'm wearing lots of hats at once and I couldn't do it all without the frankly humbling support and help I've been receiving from my friends.
A new iteration of the Update web site evolves the design with input from designer Clare Sutcliffe.
You might be starting to notice that Update isn't a regular conference. It kicks off with the Royal Banquet at a palace (for which there are still a few tickets you can buy to attend), continues in the premier concert hall in Brighton, and ends with the A Night at the Museum after-party at the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery. It is a tightly-scripted experience, with 18-minute inspirational talks punctuated by Geek Ninja Battles, tech beats, and live/interactive music and visualization acts. And, unlike other conferences, we're approaching sponsorship differently too.
We're crafting a beautiful mobile conference this September in Brighton. Here's your chance to be part of the magic.
Come by next Thursday and have a drink or two on me as we chill and talk about how you can help make Update 2011 even more awesome. We need volunteers, people to help get the word out, and… well, I'm sure you have ideas I haven't even thought of yet.
Update 2011 is not your mama's conference: it's not just about mobile technologies and user experience, it is an experience… starting with the pre-conference dinner on the 4th of September.
The pre-conference dinner will take place on the 4th of September, 2011 at the Royal Pavilion. It will include a private tour and drinks in the kitchen. Very limited places available.
