DConstruct – talking was better than the talks

DConstruct was good fun, although as usual 90% of the value for me was outside of the talks (and it really was worth it – I had a great time).

It did leave me thinking – do we really need speakers at conferences any more?

I read so much on the web at the moment that I rarely feel wowed by talks these days. I reckon we should think more about Unconferences and spend more time talking to each other rather than just listening.

Saying that, Josh Porter stole the show and I did enjoy his bit. If you’re into social design, his blog is probably the best thing around at the moment. The book‘s very good too.
