[IxDA Discuss] Design-oriented Conferences for 2007

[Todd Zaki Warfel]

I really hope DUX is better this year than last time around. The  
first DUX was ground breaking, IMO. Dux '06 was felt like it had been  
taken over by CHI, which is fine if you were expecting to go to CHI.  
I was gravely disappointed. I'm not 100% convinced I'll go this time  
around (especially since I encouraged around a dozen people to go  
last time and they were all extremely disappointed as well - didn't  
live up to the hype. Sorry, guys).

So, I'll be holding out for a bit before I decide to go to DUX again.  
Now, Connecting '07, that's a different story.
