  Expression around the Clock – Complete Events | (0)

  Hi,   So the event of the year finally took place :-) It feels as though I have been preparing for this event forever.   The Expression around the Clock event kicked off in New Zealand, followed by Korea, India and Russia, then we hit Egypt where I was presenting. The event took place during Ramadan and everyone was a little worried how this would affect the attendee numbers, however we had a full house, and more importantly a full house of designers :-) This trend continued to the other locations, Italy, Switzerland, Brazil, Mexico and finally Canada. For me this was by far ...

  Presentation Ramblings Events | (0)

  Hi,   So last week I finally completed my Europe/Middle East tour as part of the Microsoft ReMIX event. If any of you attended please send me your feedback, good and bad, as I'm always trying to improve my presentation style.   I'll be honest by the end of the tour I was a little fed-up of presenting, I have pretty much been presenting none stop since February, and most of the presentations were similar content. I'd really wanted to produce some new stuff but I really didn't have the time and the old stuff was what was being requested. I'm planning on producing ...

  Pan Arab Web Awards Events | (0)

  Back in April I presented at the Pan Arab Web Awards, this has to be one of the strangest events I've attended to date. The event was held in the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai (Seven Stars!) This is a weird place full of men and women desperately trying to look ten years younger, which apparently means too much fake tan and hairspray. The hotel decor was like something out of cribs and the swirly carpets made you feel quite sea sick. After getting into an argument with a queue jumper (the stupid women had the misconception that her ...

  Zurich TechDays 2007 Events | (0)

  Hi, So last week I completed my DevDays/TechDays European tour in Zurich. As usual my trip didn't go without it's problems. On my third trip to Zurich this year and for the second time I managed to arrive the day before my luggage! This is so annoying and stressful as the airline didn't even know where my luggage was, with an important meeting to get to I simply had to hope that my luggage would arrive before my presentation - luckily it did. This was the smallest audience I delivered to but in some ways I felt the most engaged, ...

  DevDays Belgium 2007 Events | (0)

  Yesterday I delivered two presentations at the DevDays in Belgium. So following on from my nightmare presentation in Helsinki I was hoping Belgium would be better. Having checked in to my surprisingly nice hotel and having a lovely dinner (surprising once again for room service) and finding BBC One on the TV (sad I know, I don't even watch much TV but I feel happy when away from home, if BBC is on the TV) I was feeling fairly relaxed, after practicing a couple of times I was confident all would be well with my presentations. So another early start, ...

  Designertopia Events | (0)

  So I started my new job as an Evangelist on the 1st February, on the 2nd of February I find myself presenting at the first Microsoft designer focused event. With little time to prepare I decide to present the Blend/WPF demos I built in my previous role and hope the audience will like them. Having arrived in London at 8am I manage to test my demos on the main screen, luckily everything works well, with a couple of hours to kill before my presentation I practice, practice, practice. Eventually it is my turn, the room begins to fill up, soon ...

  Helsinki 2007 DevDays Events | (0)

  Hi, I have just returned from Helsinki where I presented at the Microsoft DevDays event. This is primarily a developer event, however this year they had added a design agenda, of which I was one of the presenters. So after my half hour journey from the airport to the hotel listening to Lordi (not my favourite) I check in at the hotel, only to realise I'd forgotten my travel adapter, meaning I had to venture into a Finnish shopping mall in the hope I would stumble over a PC World - I didn't, and proceeded to get very lost, eventually ...
