More events happening in Savannah for the design-inclined; this time for those of us who design or build interaction experiences. The 1st annual IxDA conference; Interaction 08 will be held in Savannah this February 8-10, hosted in part by our Alma Mater, The Savannah College of Art and Design.
Unfortunately because of the high registration,the event’s sold out already, but they have a great forum with which you can connect with speakers, session leaders and other Interaction enthusiasts. Plus they’ve promised that some of the conference proceedings will be available online some time after so it’s worth checking back.
