Although I’m not listed on the site yet, I’m going to be on a panel at Webvisions 2006: Let go, Jump in: Community Marketing Strategies for Empowered Customers. An unusual topic for me, I know, but I think I have some interesting things to say about it after some recent projects I’ve done.

I’m also doing some talks based on the book at Adaptive Path’s User Experience Week: What is Interaction Design? and The Elements, Laws, and Attributes of Interaction Design. These two 45 minute sessions are a warm-up for this fall’s Designing for Interaction Day, where I present all the stuff in the book in earnest. Tentative places/dates for that are September in San Francisco, October in New York, and December in Chicago, with more locations (London? Austin? Sydney? Bangalore? Tell me where!) in the winter/spring.

But to heck with me. The big news about UX Week this year is the killer line-up of guest speakers: Steven Johnson! Michael Bierut! Shelley Evenson! Jared Spool! and more being announced later! It’s going to be a great event.
