2008 HOW Conference: Boston

I just arrived in the beautiful city of Boston and I love it. I'm here for the HOW Design Conference and while I'm here I'm going to write about it. The HOW Design Conference is a yearly event that teaches seminars on all sorts of things, from type to design. It's a melting pot of creatives and a place where you can be yourself and rekindle your love for design and advertising. I'm here for three days and it starts tonight with a meet and greet networking kickoff and the opening of the resource center which has tons of goodies.

This is how tomorrow looks:

Monday

• Modern Dog Uncensored: Fearless Design
• Making Your Prepress Files Foolproof
• Arriving at Creativity
• When Good Prospects Become Bad Clients

Tuesday

• The Design Entrepreneur
• What it Takes to Be Your Own Boss
• How to Treat Your In-House Group Like a Design Studio
• Planning, Packaging and Promoting Yourself as the Product

Wednesday

• Email by Design: The Art of Creating Effective Email Communications
• The Art of Leadership

One final note, this is something I typically wouldn't have gone to in the past. But my family, especially Nicole recognized that I needed to go. Thank you Nicole and thank you Nadine and Ulf for helping me out. And thanks to PokerTek for letting me get some fresh air. Expect pics and stories to come.
