It’s been a busy day here at the VON show. I managed to run into fellow bloggers Richard Stasny, Phil Wolff (Skype Journal), and my old friend Bob Frankston. Following the three industry insight sessions by Jeffrey Citron, Tom Evslin, and Maddog Hall, we headed over the main exhibit hall. I don’t know whether the hall is much larger than in previous years, or whether it was an optical illusion created by the fact that you had to walk downstairs into the hall, but it seemed huge!
I’d say that fall VON 2005 is shaping up to be a great show!
