Gnomedex 8.0

Bell Harbor Convention Center
Pier 66 (Seattle)

Chris and Ponzi Pirillo’s conference for bloggers, podcasters, and über-geeky technologists starts in earnest today. This year’s lineup of presenters includes Ben Huh of iCanHasCheezburger, journalist Sarah Lacy, the best of Ignite Seattle, artists, security researchers, and much more.

One of the coolest things about Gnomedex is hanging out with a dynamic group of overtly friendly and sociable geeks. The sessions are thought-provoking and the hallway conversations are engrossing. However, If you can’t make it, don’t worry. With all the new-media alpha-types in the audience, it will likely be one of the most photographed, blogged, and twittered conferences of the year.

(Disclaimer: I volunteer for the conference.)

The Usability Professionals Association is working to create a new chapter here in the Puget Sound area. To kick off the new group, they are hosting Arnie Lund, Microsoft IT’s Director of User Experience, to speak about his work with user interface, emerging technologies, etc. There is a members-only event at 6, but the talk is open to the whole public. You can register over at Eventbrite, or you can sign up on the UPA Seattle mailing list to get more information about the group.
