Great coverage of the event is happening on the IDEA Conference Blog. I will likely make comments there in order to participate in the ongoing conversation on that site, rather than posting anything here.
Overall, it has been a great experience; very heady presentations mixed with a few case studies. Very little in the way of “here’s how you do X and Y” talks, which is fine by me. The Seattle Library rocks. I feel like perhaps I pay too much attention in my daily life; several of the speakers regurgitated the same material they write about elsewhere, and I didn’t learn anything new from them. That said, it was cool to meet the folks behind the ideas, and be able to ask questions in real time.
Onward, ho.
