I’ve just signed myself up for Web Directions North – a conference that always features a number of the web industry’s leading experts, and this year will be no different. Well…except for one big difference…

Unlike last year where I hopped on a bus to catch the conference in Downtown Vancouver, this year I’ll be booking a flight and hopping on a plane to head south to Denver, Colorado!

I think I’m as excited about visiting Denver as I am in attending the conference itself. Colorado is one of the few states that I’ve had on my “places to visit in the US list”, so I’m pretty stoked. My ski gear will be making the trip, and whether I go with the conference setup to Breckenridge or manage to find my own way over to the hills, this will definitely be a trip for both business and fun.

Last year I came away with some new ideas, new colleagues, and a renewed excitement for the opportunities that are out there in the web. I’m looking forward to much of the same this year, as well as carving some turns in Colorado powder (hopefully!).
