Core77

Steve Portigal has a comprehensive report of 4 design oriented events he attended this fall on his blog. Here's a blurb,

I'll try to describe some of the things that struck me about the various events I was involved in. Of course, my friends and colleagues were organizers, presenters, and fellow attendees. It's possible I'll piss someone off with what I have to say, but I'll do my best to be gentle but direct.

It's very long. Skim, skip, or skip ahead, as you see fit.

The four conferences were:
Creative CanUX in Banff in September
About, With, and For (AWF) in Chicago in October
Designing for User eXperience (DUX) in San Francisco in November
Ethnographic Praxis in Industry Conference (EPIC) in Seattle in November
