idesign 08 – the conference of Gods!

I’m delighted to announce idesign 08, what we modestly like to call ‘the UK’s leading conference for interactive design.’ The conference will take place at the South Bank Centre, London on September 17 as part of the London Design Festival.

I’d be even more delighted if you were to: (a) book for the event; and (b) help us get the word out.

On getting the word out – grab this badge, stick it on your site and link to www.idesign-london.com – there is a pint in it for you*. I can do you a white version or different sizes if you like. Or – look – here’s the PSD File to *cough* mash-up your own!

The following might be loosely interpreted as marketing talk. You are free to go straight down to the blue button.

Early Bird Rates: Admission to the conference, the exhibition and portfolio clinic is currently available for just £60 (£50 for concessions). This price will rise in August, so don’t delay, book today. drinkapintamilkaday.

idesign 08 will showcase the best and most innovative work in the field and feature keynote speakers at the top of the profession. The programme is designed to be inspirational, informative and challenging. You will be a better interactive designer by the end of the day – or better able to understand the designers who work with you! You’ll also know about new opportunities and your pathway through this new digital world.

This conference is for you if:

• you want to be inspired with new ideas about web, 3D, interactive and mobile.
• you are a design professional who needs to keep abreast of the latest thinking and see best practice.
• you’re passionate about the future of the digital world.
• you want to share ideas and opportunities with like-minded creatives.
