I’m off to Portland next week, along with 2 other co-workers from Micron to attend Webvisions 2006. My friend and old co-worker from Albertsons Hugh Griffith will also be attending.

Just curious if you went to this last year and how beneficial you think the workshop and conference will be to a freelance designer. Money is a little tight, but according to the roster, it looks as though there is going to be some great things going on. I am just getting into application development for a few clients and would love some advanced help with CSS, application architecture, usability, etc. Thanks in advance for your advice. Justin.
Dang man, I’m really jealous. I’m sitting here at a ‘net Kiosk in London, but still think it would be cool to go to Webvisions. Let me know how it goes.
@Justin – Nope, never been. First timer here. Based on knowing some of the speakers I think it will be beneficial to anyone in the industry.
@Nate S. – Dude, nice to hear from ya. Hope all is well. And yes, I wish you could go too.
I’m in most of the ones you are for day two. Torn between these two though-Design panel and Accessible Design Without Drama. Which do you think I’d get more out of?
