Anab Jain at dConstruct
The countdown to dConstruct 2014 has well and truly begun. It’s just three and a half weeks away, and I am very excited.
I have some good news and bad news.
The bad news is that Leila Johnston can no longer make it—she has decided to cancel all her public speaking engagements to focus on the next Hack Circus event.
But the (very) good news is that Anab Jain will be speaking! Yay!
I had actually approached Anab earlier when I was still putting together the line-up for this year’s dConstruct, but it didn’t look like she could fit it into her schedule. Then as the line-up of speakers coalesced, it became clearer and clearer that she would be the perfect person to talk about Living With The Network and I was filled with regret.
Now that she has so graciously agreed to step in at such short notice, I couldn’t be happier. Seriously, I am so excited about the line-up that I’m like a kid counting down the days until Christmas.
There are still tickets available for dConstruct 2014. If you haven’t got yours yet, well, you should fix that. (Have I mentioned how excited I am about this year’s line-up? I’m quite, quite excited about this year’s line-up.)
So you’re coming to @dconstruct right? No? Well that’s where you’re going wrong in life. 2014.dconstruct.org
