Ian’s EEUK11 Wrap-up

Ian Ebden, the organizer of last week’s EEUK11, wrote a great narrative of his experience organizing and hosting the conference. The take-away? Organizing a conference can be stressful but watching the speakers deliver great talks made it all worth it. Congrats to Ian for going from design to conference organizer and making it all work!

As a long-time EE Pro Network developer, I was proud (and a little nervous) to have organised and hosted it. I suppose it’s one way I can give back to a community and organisation (EllisLab) that have given me so much. Either way, here is my account of EEUK11.

Having thoroughly enjoyed trips out to EECI in The Netherlands the last two years, I was disappointed to hear there would be no European ExpressionEngine conference this autumn. Foolishly, I tweeted the idea of a UK EE meet-up this summer, and the response was immediate and very enthusiastic – along with cries of “let us know when you’ve sorted it out.” Ah. Oh dear.

Ian isn’t sure if he’ll do it all again next year but maybe if others join in to help him plan it, we can convince him to do EEUK12.
