Web Directions North 2008

As we announced a few weeks back, this year during the lunch breaks at the conference, we’ll be helping to facilitate “birds of a feather” sessions. These will be entirely opt-in! Here’s how it works.

In the lunch area (nice big sit down tables) we’ll have 6 large tables set up each day, with whiteboards/flip charts, and a moderator for the table’s area of interest. Simply turn up, say hi, and join the conversation.

There’s a broad range of interesting technical and strategic issues to choose from. Titles below, and full descriptions on our BOF page.

Thanks so much to all who proposed topics for the sessions, all were great worthwhile suggestions - we came down to available space in having to limit the total number of sessions.

And the sessions are:
