Welcome to the Summit -- Web 98 Convention

Sunday June 21, 1998, Web 98 started at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. I will be in attendance on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and expect it to be an exciting event.

Throughout the conference I will check in and post updates to my bulletin board. If there is anything particular you would like me to find out about, leave a message on the board. I'll be checking it daily. I will also update this page in the evenings after the show with updates, photos, and information.

Day One
Jennifer at the train station The first day was fairly laid back. I got to the conference and just looked around the convention center. I had no idea that taking the train would take so long. I think tomorrow I'll have to read the train schedule.

Check in was a breeze, I got my pass and press information quickly, and there was no line. That was really nice.

The first thing I did was go to a presentation by Allaire about Cold Fusion. It was really interesting, and I've got several article ideas about Transactive Content and other things from it.

TechWeek Magazine The Expo floor was fun, filled with people and lots of things to see and do. I got a free subscription to TechWeek magazine, as well as lots of other information and surprises.

I definitely recommend conventions if you need little things for your office. I came back with a boomerang, a coin purse, lots of flyers, three sample CDs, a t-shirt and a bag. I didn't hit half of the booths, either.

More tomorrow... I'm going to be taking more classes and seeing speakers. Check the bulletin board for up-to-the-minute updates, and tomorrow's synopsis linked from this page.
