Hey guys! I'm interested in knowing which events you are attending this year? I'll be attending MoodleMoot from an LMS standpoint but also considering DevLearn in October. Does anyone have a go-to in Australia, Europe or USA?
I think for e-learning, Devlearn is the best. ATD ICE is a good conference, but it's really big and broad in scope going outside of e-learning. So if you like general training and HR topics, it's a good one.
BTW, we're looking at doing a couple of roadshows in Australia in September. I think they'll be in Sydney and Brisbane since we were in Melbourne last time.
okay guys, please tell me there is some sort of meet up event/workshop in Melbourne. I checked out the Articulate meet up group and there isn't anything going on there.
@Stephanie: looks like we're going to do two trips: Sydney/New Zealand and then Brisbane/Melbourne. We'll announce them both at the same time so people can figure out which works best for them.
Re; meetups...we try to get people connected during the workshops, but that's always hit or miss. Some groups take off and some kind of wither away.
Connect with the folks at BOnline. They do some online meetups.
Owen - your knowledge and specific technical expertise would be a great asset. Maybe it's time to create "Articulate Unconferences" for those areas that would never have access to Tom K and the Roadshow. Each local unconference would be hosted by a qualified Articulate User Group and the sessions would be presented by surrounding Articulate heroes or deep seeded and knowledgeable people from this Forum. That local unconference could tap into the surrounding community of SL designers and developers, corporate trainers, and independents, etc. Maybe you could select which unconference wanted you and let them cover your expenses plus a fair stipend. It might not be in Melbourne but Honolulu, Seattle, St Louis, etc. Thanks again for all of your rock solid advice here online.

ATD ICE (International Conference and Expo)
ATD Techknowledge
The eLearning Guild's Learning Solutions
and DevLearn are probably my 4 favorites.
Thanks Owen. What are your thoughts on ATD ICE? I was contemplating this one but wasn't sure whether DevLearn trumped it.

Keen on DevLearn. October is so far away though.
I didn't realise articulate did a roadshow... Melbourne always draws a bigger conference crowd I think, however Brisbane weather is a winner! haha
I really liked Melbourne. Although I did get really sick and almost died, but that's not Melbourne's fault. :)
I post the roadshow events in the blog (at the bottom of each post). http://blogs.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/
Maybe you should return so we can prove Melbourne isn't so scary :p
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

I'm still waiting for Articulate to bring me along on one of these adventures to teach some JavaScript... 😀😎

I like the way you think. BTW, are you the "Six Red Marbles" David I see on LinkedIn?
the only marbles that i have are rolling around in my head! Now I am curious about the Six red Marbles and will check him out. Enjoy
