Please add service design resources to the comments.

We’ll start by adding this one from Jeff Howard that Chris Downs mentioned during the conference.

We would like to get your feedback about the conference. Please add your comments to this post. Let us know what worked well, and what was missing. How can we improve the conference next year?

For comments about the theme, see What should Emergence be about next year?

We will be posting the proceedings for the papers we have on the web some time after the conference. Also, we will work with presenters to post the presentations.

We will try to get these up as soon as possible. Watch this site for more info.

If you take any photos at Emergence and upload them to Flickr, tag them with “emergence07.” See photos from the conference.

It’s hard to believe after all this planning Emergence will finally begin. The conference kicks off today with two workshops, Designing the Service Experience with Birgit Mager, and Drawing Ideas: Interactions + Scenarios with William Bardel and Mark Baskinger.

We’re pleased that both workshops are full and there’s still interest in attending. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate everyone. But the workshops are merely an appetizer of what’s to come over the next two days. We’re incredibly excited about the range of speakers and topics. And from the healthy increase in registrants from last year to this year, it seems they’re pulling the crowds in—another reason for us to be excited.

If you’re in town, we will be gathering for happy hour on Friday night after the workshops. Check this site or our Twitter feed for updates.

We look forward to seeing you all!
