Wrapping up FOWA 2007

So the Future of Web Apps, London, conference is over for it's second year with only the single day of
workshops left to go (which I will not be attending).

So - how was it?  Well, to be honest, I've got mixed feelings, which is in some ways how I always feel at the end of a conference.  The actual days were totally packed with speakers from quite a wide variety of the web industry, but in some ways (and I know vincent agrees with me to some extent on this) it felt a little too busy - too much going on with hardly a break to stop, think, mingle or generally relax.  It was pretty much non-stop, and althoug most of the speakers were interesting, it didn't leave any time to discuss what they had just said.  In many ways I'd prefer a little bit of a breather, or even a multi-layered schedule where you can pick and choose, so that you can take in what was said and work with it.

The two days had a good mixture between a more techy code approach and a business approach, ranging from a hardcore VC speaker through to some things which seemed perhaps a little lightweight (not mentioning any specific names here though).

I was going to blog about the different speakers in this post, but I think i'll split them off into seperate posts to stop his one getting too long.

I've posted my photos (what there are, not many) on Flickr here.
