WebVisions 2010

"WebVisions explores the future of design, content creation, user experience and business strategy to uncover the trends and agents of change that will shatter your assumptions about the Web. Be ready to network, share ideas and be inspired by an all-star lineup of speakers."

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the WebVisions conference, which will take place at the Oregon Convention Center next week (May 19–21). WebVisions has consistently offered a great variety of topics and speakers, and this year looks to be no exception (see the schedule). You can read my recap of last year's conference here.
