There are a lot cool meetings and conferences I’ll attend the next few months. I hope to meet people I only know via the internet, and I’m sure I’ll learn new, exciting things.

But I’d like to start with a meeting in the past. Thanks to Kilian, I could enjoy Nokia Trends Lab in Amsterdam last Thursday. The trends lab itself was not very amazing, but it was fun though. Nokia didn’t show many things, only two models that are just updates of existing ones. The event was planned until 2pm, so I had to leave much earlier because I had to catch a train. The band Moke was very entertaining.

Next Friday I hope to learn some things on the design side of creating web sites. In Delft the Internetcreatieven Kennisdag takes place. I’m not a real designer, but I really like to expand my knowledge on this subject.

Early in April, Adobe will held a cool one-day conference on their new product: AIR. Adobe AIR is a way to use web applications on your desktop. With JavaScript, Flash or Flex (you guess what technique I use) it is possible to create so called AIR-applications, which can easily communicate with APIs from web services. At the conference several Adobe employees will talk about it, and there is time for discussion and other things.

A week later, pfcongrez is held. I’m looking forward to learn about PHP frameworks, and it is very cool Marktplaats.nl will share some bits about how their web site works.

Last, but absolutely not least: I will attend @media this year! Two days of meeting amazing people, listening to well-known speakers and exploring London. The full schedule is not known at the moment of writing, but I’m sure there will be many intersting presentations. Last year I couldn’t make it, but at this moment all lights are green. I’m looking forward to take my plane just a few hours after making my mathematics exam (oh, you didn’t know I haven’t finished secondary education yet?).

So, are you planning to go to any of the mentioned meetings or conferences? I’d love to hear, we possibly can get to know each other. Just leave a comment over here :)
