I think with the lower cap on attendance, it'll have a more personal feel for both the attendees and the speakers. And as far as the non-local crowd goes, I spend enough time in DC for people to ask if I live there apparently. Maybe I can be an honorary "local." I’m very much looking forward to this event.

I would certainly approve the time off for our designers to go to something like this. Of course, we have a bit of a different view of these kinds of events compared to a lot of places (or so it seems). We've always felt like these community events are very important for individual professional growth, and that's great for everyone.

Jackson Wilkinson Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:04:31 +0000 http://www.wynnewilliams.com/design-is-up-first-in-the-dc-talks-conference-series/#comment-720 Thanks for the post, Brian. I think we can call it more of a "regional" event, with perhaps a generous definition of "region." We've sold a decent number of tickets so far, and hopefully as folks get the time off from their bosses, that pace will pick up a bit. But we've got three weeks, and it's only $35, so I think we'll bring out a good crowd. If the event weren't hosted at Viget, would you give your designers time off to go? Thanks for the post, Brian.
