I’m planning on attending Inverge 2007: the interactive convergence conference. As the Inverge site states, “Inverge is a multi-disciplinary conference happening on September 6-7 in the Pearl District of Portland, OR that focuses on the invergence of media platforms, of online + offline, content + advertising, and corporate content + consumer-generated content.”
There look to be some great speakers and the event is tied to the Time-Based Art Festival, MusicFestNW and the First Thursday Gallery Walk.
Unfortunately I’m only able to attend one day of the event but still feel that this will prove valuable.
