» Two Rules for Digital Conferences
Latest blog post arguing:
Forget ebooks, apps, Kindles and iPads – what people in digital publishing really like is a good conference. Most of us involved in the area have benefited from the discussions, the copious coffee and even the occasional invitation to present. However, frequent attendance at such events can leave one jaded at the similarities, so I propose two simple rules that should be applied across all digital publishing conferences.
We should, in short, ban the following phrases:
- “Everything is changing so fast right now”
- “You need to experiment”
Doing this would immediately raise the discourse at such events, and make people actually think about what they are saying rather than just parroting platitudes that don’t really mean anything.
