I’d say the first Webstock Conference was a success. Definitely a sound platform has been built to further drive and grow not only the conference but NZ’s participation in the web world. Some highlights for me:
Kathy Sierra
Brilliant presentation, left me feeling absolutely inspired.
Darren Fitler
It was eye-opening watching him use a computer and give a presentation. A really nice guy also.
Tony Chor
I had a chance to talk to him at the dinner. Nothing overly important, but it was a highlight for me 
Accessibility
It was amazing how accessible all the presenters were and how willing they were to accept questions. Awesome.
Conference swag/Branding
Excellent. Period.
Meeting cool people
This was a definite highlight for me, meeting so many cool like-minded people… the majority of whom already live here. The networking that went on can only be good for our clients and the general eco-system in the long run.
The trick now is to keep the momentum, the inspiration, and the optimism gained from the conference. I’ve already decided to start attending more events around town (including the RoR and Unlimited Potential events) and I’ll be looking at ways to share the information and experience we gained at Webstock.
Now, lets go change the world!
