Transmission 2008 in Vancouver
As you might know I attend a lot of conferences. After years of doing this the excitement wears off and it often becomes just part of the job. Fortunately, I really enjoy travelling so even when the conference does not turn out to be a success you’re still in a different environment which is something you will always gain something from. If you’re not then you’re not travelling the right way.
For this one I am excited though: I just confirmed my ticket for the Transmission conference which takes place in Vancouver this year in the first week of December. This has been highly recommended to me by Sean Adams who was saying this is one of the best industry conference he’s ever been to. And he is going to a lot of those.
The Transmission guys are approaching this gathering of people from the music and technology sectors differently and I think I’m going to enjoy this as
- it’s limited to 200 people (I feel a intimate setup makes it easier to connect to people)
- there seems to be a tight schedule of interesting talks and round tables (being German a good organization is something I always appreciate
- it sounds like we will have people talking from outside our industries (I get bored by hearing the same people talking about the same topics so this could be very refreshing)
- I expect the topics to be very high level and therefore educating (again, you often hear the same things at panel around the world, I want to hear people explaining, educating and inspiring me)
As you can see I built up high expectations, I hope they will be met. And if not there is always Vancouver, not the worst place in the world to spend a few days in anyway.
Is anyone else going? Or have you been?
