Earlier last month, 460 interaction designers converged in Vancouver to discuss, debate, and share a spectrum of topics that are important to our community of practice. The Interaction09 conference featured three days of tactical workshops, smart sessions filled with practical advice, and a fantastic collection of inspirational keynotes.

Many of the contributors to the event came from the Bay Area so the local IxDA group is hosting a redux of the conference featuring several of the local speakers. If you'd like to attend here are the details:

Time: March 14, 2009 from 12pm to 5pm
Location: Adaptive Path
Street: 363 Brannan Street
City: San Francisco

I was honored to be selected this year to speak at both the full conference and the redux. My presentation was called Postcard Patterns: An Agile UI Pattern Creation Process and focuses on using Agile methods to improve documentation efficiency, efficacy and productivity.

There are a number of speakers contributing at the half-day event and it promises to be a fun and informative event. If you're interested in attending, the details can be found at the IxDA-SF site
