Hey hey!

Aye we had a good time mate. Maybe took advantage of the open bar a little too much, at least I got to wear Ryan’s hat!

I particularly enjoyed Mike’s talk, it really inspired me to get in Photoshop and just have some fun for myself, instead of it always having to be for clients.

I’m sure I’ll be there next time.

That’s a very good point Yaili. I was also compelled to check out the aforementioned product too – I got a good feeling from the company based on the presentation that made me think that the product could be good but more importantly that the people behind it had the right idea.

Hi Phil!

I agree with you that last year’s FOWD was a bit more juicy in terms of content, but I’d say this year I enjoyed it more :)

Good point on the GoodBarry sponsorship, other sponsors should definitely learn something from them. I’m actually compelled to using their product even if I don’t need it now.

Thanks for the link!

Nice quick summary on the high/lowlights of the conference, like you I feel the same about presentations on past work being pointless and reading from a script, as good as it was, just makes the talk a little less interesting!

Hopefully be going to at least 1 more conference this year and already thinking about the next FOWD London!

Nice to meet you and some of the other ND people anyway!
