There are some excellent Web conferences happening soon, including a great one in my neck of the woods. The awesomely named Webstock is on this Thursday and Friday, in my home city of Wellington New Zealand. There are a number of Web stars coming from overseas for this event, including Molly Holzschlag, Tom Coates from Yahoo, Chris DiBona from Google, Cal Henderson from Flickr, Info Architect gurus Liz Danzico and Peter Morville, web design gurus Dan Cederholm and Kelly Goto, and many others.]]>
Of course, I will be there too - so look forward to catching up if you're in Wellington for Webstock. It's sold out, but I'll post some highlights here.
