Web Directions Forum - Got some comments on some session ideas?

Lots of activity over at the Web Directions forum.

There’s a few discussions going on that it would be nice to get a bit more detailed input on - comments are where the real gems of information come out! What we’d really like some help on is the specifics of how we should cover a few broad areas that we will obviously have sessions on.

And remember, your comments could get you a free ticket to Web Directions South 2009.

Web Developer Power Tools

Kevin Yank started an interesting thread on web developer power tools - a topic that John in particular had been thinking might be worthwhile covering this year. Who feels that they would learn something from this? How would it run best do you think?

Thriving as an in house web designer

I thought this was an interesting one - thriving as an in house web designer would look at the challenges and benefits of working as a small team - or a team of one!, in an organisation that isn’t completely “web focussed”. How many people are there out there like this in the Web Directions audience? How critical is the web to your organisation? Do you value the web and its possibilities more than you feel your organisation does?

Getting the tracks right

At Web Directions we’ve always had a Design and a Developer track. But the last few years we’ve also had a third track in which we have put other interesting content which doesn’t necessarily fit under either of those two headings, but would be covered by one of “management”, “strategy” or “career”. How do you think we should be using that third track? Is there a way we could organise and arrange the content there more cohesively?

Birds of a feather

At this stage we feel we’re going to be able to make something along the lines of a Birds of a Feather breakfast happen - which is great! It will need to be an add on to the main conference ticket - though we plan to only recover our costs on doing this. How much would people be prepared to pay to come along to what we think is going to be a great networking and knowledge sharing experience? Got any ideas for how we can make the breakfast even better?

CSS

What’s worth saying about CSS to this audience in 2009? Is everything we know about CSS wrong?
