EuroIA Conference 2008

Tomorrow is the official start of the EuroIA Conference here in Amsterdam. I'm so excited to be able to be a part of it this year!

Adam Greenfield will be giving the opening keynote. I remember first hearing Adam speak at an IA Summit about the issues of IA in the international space, especially as related to the work he had done in Japan. He talk was incredibly insightful and I was able to use some of his ideas in my work at PeopleSoft. He also gave a talk at Adaptive Path when his book Everyware first came out. I always find Adam a very engaging speaker, bringing together points in ways that are insightful and clever and always make me think. I can't wait to hear what he has to say.

There are a slew of great speakers that have be lined up. Some are names that I know from the IA Summit and others are ones I'm looking forward to meeting. There are two tracks each day, and it's going to be hard to chose. I'm on opposite Eric Reiss, tomorrow at 2:30, and will be talking about content analysis and how to really understand all the stuff that builds up on a site.
