The experience continues...

<head> 2008 may be over but the experience continues with recordings from the event. <head> 2008 attendees can now access the recordings from the schedule and London hub pages after signing in.

We are also working on staging the sessions that we had issues with again. We will email you as we confirm dates for those so that you can attend them live.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

We can hardly believe how quickly the three days flew by!

Thank you to our amazing team, our excellent speakers, and our wonderful sponsors for making the conference a success. And thank you for attending the conference and adding your own magic to the mix. Here's to <head> 2009!

Local conference hub registrations are now open!

Sign-ups are now underway in our local conference hubs in London (UK), Brighton (UK), Manchester (UK), Fribourg (Switzerland), and San Francisco (USA).

(We also have a virtual Second Life hub but you don't have to sign up to attend that one!)

Please note that we have limited seating at the hubs and places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Pre-party in Second Life: thank-you for coming along!

We had a pre-party bash for the <head> web conference in Second Life on Sunday, October 19th. It lasted for about three hours and there was lots of music, thanks to our DJ SerinaJane, and much virtual dancing, and even virtual drinks.

For video footage from the event and more information on the hub, see the <head> Second Life hub page.

Even if you missed the party, you can always click this link to teleport to the <head> web conference Second Life hub and look around.

Check out the schedule!

We've just released the schedule of talks for the <head> web conference.

Localize the schedule for your own timezone in a single click using our nifty little location picker, or, if you know the Olson name of your timezone, you can simply hack the URL: e.g., schedule for New York, London, Paris, Sydney, Istanbul, and Singapore).

Don't worry if you cannot make it to any of the sessions as we are going to be recording all of them. You don't need to miss anything!

We will be shuffling some sessions around and adding to the schedule in the next few days so make sure you check back before the conference for the final version.

You can still access the full list of sessions, also, if you want to skim through the session descriptions in one place.
