My personal review of Webstock 2010 – (part III: conference proper Friday)

by kai on 23/02/2010

This is the final post of the Webstock 2010 series. It's covering Friday of "conference proper". The day started with a nice breakfast at Finc (not part of the official Webstock agenda though) and a way too cold auditorium in the Town Hall. But Internet was fixed again and it seemed as if most people were able to login to the Wifi again. The Friday sessions: Eric Ries - The Lean Startup My…

My personal review of Webstock 2010 – (part II: conference proper Thursday)

by kai on 22/02/2010

This second part of my Webstock 2010 review briefly covers the conference sessions on Thursday and some other bits and pieces around it. Webstock 2010 was again held in Wellington's Town Hall - the historic and classic style of the building really lends itself to an event like Webstock and if it was mine I wouldn't move it anywhere else either. Most of the conference is run as a single stream of…

My personal review of Webstock 2010 - (part I: workshops)

by kai on 22/02/2010

Last week Wellington's IT and web crowd celebrated the annual Webstock week. You'd think that at the end of the day, Webstock is just another conference - but that would be quite of an understatement and completely miss the point. First of all, Webstock runs for pretty much a full week: Monday to Wednesday are filled with a bunch of 1/2-day or full-day workshops (to be booked and paid for on top…

Speaking at Flash Platform User Group Wellington (New Zealand)

by kai on 05/02/2010

After the XMas break is now finally over and summer has arrived in Wellington, we're starting the monthly meetings of the Flash Platform User Group again. Actually we were known as the Flex User Group but went through a bit of self-finding and re-branding and the outcome is a broader focus on the overall Flash Platform. That also includes Flash, AIR, Flash Catalyst and associated things like the…

Webinale 2010

by kai on 29/01/2010

Yay, Webinale 2010 in Berlin is on again (31/05 - 02/06) and I'm going to be hosting and moderating the RIA day at the conference. I'm quite happy and proud to have put together a super-interesting agenda (tentatively) with a quite international bouquet of speakers (in fact: Australia, New Zealand, France and Germany :-) 1. Kai Koenig: Wieviel RIA braucht der Mensch? (@agentk) 2. Thibault Imbert:…

Edge of the Web conference, Perth 2008

by kai on 17/07/2008

Awesome, I'll be traveling over to Perth in November to attend the Edge of the Web conference. I'm going to do a regular conference session during the main conference (Nov 6) and will offer a 1/2 day workshop on the day after the main conference (Nov 7). The topic of the 1/2 day workshop on Friday will be most likely closely related to Adobe's AIR platform (stay tuned for details); but I'm not…

Web on the Piste

by kai on 16/07/2008

Web of the Piste 2008 is not to far away - August 20 and 21, 2008. For all those of you not knowing the conference from last year, it's a RIA technology event down in Queenstown, New Zealand. Diane and I went down there last year and we had a lot of fun staying in Queenstown, experiencing the snow, we drove up to Wanaka for a day etc. Oh, besides all that fun there was a conference as well :) -…

webDU 2008 Trading Card Game

by kai on 30/05/2008

As you all know, webDU (formerly known as MXDU) is some sort of a special event for me. Besides the facts that it coined Diane's and my love for the southern hemisphere, that we've got married one day before MXDU 2004 (actually on the n-th birthday of Geoff "Legendary Creature" Bowers who was also my best man) and that I've found my first job (and therefore the entry ticket to NZ) at webDU 2005,…
