Web 2007 Conference Highlights
Many special activities took place to celebrate our tenth anniversary. We hope that you didn't miss out on the fun!
The Penn State Web Conference continues to grow with even more exciting sessions than ever before, covering a myriad of timely Web related topics. Many attendees had a hard time choosing which session to attend!
Our keynote speakers, Jared Spool and Kimberly Blessing, gave us a terrific start and send-off to our special day. A good time was had by all.
Post-Conference Tutorials took place on Tuesday, June 12 in the Business Building. A Tuesday anniversary luncheon for all conference attendees was held with a wonderful video (web-quality - 12mb and full-quality - 450mb) memoir of past conferences, interesting poster sessions, and delicious food.
Blogs, podcasts, lightning talks, sharing photos and bookmarks
The Web 2007 conference blog is available to continue the discussions and reflect on sessions and tutorials. Please, blog your thoughts!
A podcast studio was located in the hallway outside the Dean's Hall, within sight of the registration desk. We hope that someone will be brave enough to give it a try next year.
New to the conference were the Lightning Talks. Lightning talks are 5 minute presentations. Conference attendees who had a topic to share, a problem to ask, or just wanted 5 minutes of fame, signed up or volunteered.
