Welcome to the InterSections conference blog. My name is Kevin McCullagh and I’m the conference director. After spending the last few years defending myself against pointed ‘why aren’t you blogging?’ questions, I now find myself writing my first blog post(ing?).
While I tend to rely on old school edited content from the likes of the: FT, The Economist, Spiked and Blueprint magazine; I found the case for a conference blog hard to refute.
The thrust of the conference is to get beyond the regular industry schmoozing and posturing, and down to some lively debate between some genuinely different perspectives. So hopefully this blog will provide a good vehicle to inform and facilitate discussion around the conference themes before, during and after the event.
To kick things off I wrote a conference background article for Core77 in July, on how design is changing and some thoughts on how designers might respond. Please chip in with your comments on this or any other issue and let the debate roll!
I’ll end this first post with a plea for tolerance. As well as trying to deliver projects in my day job and pull together the conference’s loose ends, I’m grappling with HTML for the first time. SNAFUs seem inevitable.
Finally I would like to thank Intersections' partners:
