@media Conference

2:26p.m., Thu 14 Jun 2007

I was attending European @media conference this time last week.

I enjoyed it - no big bangs but I still managed to pick up lots of little hints, tricks & insights.

Joe Clark was live blogging from the conference and has notes from the sessions he attended: http://blog.fawny.org/category/events/media-london-2007/

And here's links to the preseantations that were most enjoyable and/or illuminating:
