Learning 2.008

Learning 2.008 in Shanghai is one of the more interesting conferences I’ll be attending this year. Eight keynotes (if that’s the right word) have been invited, but from the proposed layout of the conference, I think keynotes will take a back seat to conversations with attendees (which is exactly how it should be). I’ve been requested to present/attend a series of 8 presentations/workshops/conversations. The opening night will have all keynotes deliver a short (7-minute) TedTalks style presentation to get people motivated. Learning 2.008 breaks up conference routine and pushes conversation from the podium to the conference floor. If you’re interested, a short podcast about the conference is here.
