Internet Librarian Conference 2008 in London

I am back from the Internet Librarian Conference 2008 in London. A mixed experience, but some interesting sessions. The most disappointing was that some of the sessions had to be cancelled due to the fact that some people didn't turn up. Two days packed with librarians, sessions about "emerging technology" and social mingling in the afternoon and evening. A bit disappointing that the social events lacked any organization at all. One of the best sessions at the conference was being held by my good colleague Rurik Thomas Greenall, focusing directly on the term "emerging technologies".
