An Event Apart New Orleans: Hear Me Speak
An Event Apart is a brilliantly inspiring conference series crafted by Jeffrey Zeldman and Eric Meyer that provides attendees with a deeper understanding of web standards and emerging best practices in web design and development. They’ve recently published the schedule and list of speakers for 2008, and I’m happy to say I’ll be sharing the stage with Zeldman, Meyer, and a host of Web luminaries in New Orleans.

January 10th, 2008 at 5:13 pmYes, I’ll be speaking about my book at SXSW on Friday March 7th on the day stage. The time has yet to be announced. Hope to see you there.
January 10th, 2008 at 7:19 pmHey Aarron! I drop by your site every now and then to see what’s new, and i see you’ve got some upcoming speaking gigs! Congrats! I’m out in Boulder, CO now running my software company. We’ve grown considerably in the past year, and are anticipating another good one! See… all your good teachings are paying off! =)
January 14th, 2008 at 1:26 pmGreat to hear from you, Aaron. Your app looks amazing, but it comes as no surprise to me. Glad to hear you are doing well and pursuing your entrepreneurial interests. Let me know if you’re heading to SXSW. Maybe we can catch up over a beer.
January 14th, 2008 at 1:57 pmCongrats Aarron! I’m really proud of you and very happy for you. Also, I will be picking up the book on Day 1.
January 17th, 2008 at 9:28 amAarron, congrats on the speaking events- that’s quite an honor. so i tried to pre-order your book but was unsuccessful (basically i forgot my all amazon account info!) so i want to buy it in “the store” and i want to put a link to it on my web site. would you send me the preferred info link you’d like me to use?

That is fantastic! Congratulations! I am so glad you were my professor and that I know you. Heck, I want to be you! I’d love to attend one of your speaking engagements, but not sure if I can right now. I’ll be sure to pick up the book.
January 24th, 2008 at 12:05 pmLooks like a great event! What a pity that joining is not possible. But lucky enough books are in the makes… for us ‘left behind’.
Wishing you much success with your speech.
