DevLearn or Bust

I’m at DevLearn, the premier conference in the learning industry.

This is always a great conference. The Guild does a great job getting excellent keynotes in. I also get to attend Kevin Thorn’s precon session today, How to Put the Story in Storyboarding for eLearning. I’m really looking forward to learning from him.

Between Kevin (@learnnuggets) and Aaron Silvers (@aaronesilvers), I should drastically improve my ability to communicate visually by the end of the week. This is most excellent.

Things I’m looking forward to:

• Learning from brilliant people
• Presenting my session (Remember The User) and helping push up the industry
• Ignite
• DemoFest is always a great time. We’ll be doing onsite #lrnchat, too!

I brought my iPad, iPhone, and a Snowflake microphone for recording snippets, and, maybe, a full show with Judy. Judy and I plan to interview vendors and some other learning celebrities for our elearning podcast, The ToolBar. If you have a request for questions we should ask vendors, let us know.

This is my fourth or fifth DevLearn. I always learn something new and grow my personal learning network (PLN). If you’re going to be here, look me up! Ping me via the conference app, Twitter or my contact form. I look forward to meeting more folks I’ve only interacted with online.

I’ll be posting a lot of photos and session reviews. I also recommend the following resources whether you’re attending or not.
