STC Conference 2008

Now that the conference is over, what's next?
Check out our new blog and see Ed Rendell's speech at the opening ceremonies. You can see it here. You will have to sign up for VOX. I'm doing this on a trial basis to see how the community responds. If you like it, I'll set something up that is actually on the site.
If you have a blog you want posted, send it to UUX Webmaster.

There will be more to come. Stay tuned...
