The Visual Communication Conference
Someone (and I do not remember who, but if it was you, please comment!) pulled together images from all our cameras on the last day of Viscom 20. For those of you who were there, it’s a nice reminder of what a great conference it was… for those who weren’t there, you get a sense of the place.
VisCom 26 will be in near Salt Lake City, Utah. Craig Denton is leading the effort there and Sheree Josephson is heading up the Program. Lots of great ideas came up to help us manage having enough slots for all accepted speakers while at the same time reclaiming some of the social/down time we used to enjoy in past conferences. We’ll post descriptions of these ideas so you can comment. The final date is still up in the air but the two weeks that Craig is looking at are:
