IR 9 and other stuff

I am shortly leaving for Copenhagen and this year's IR 9.0 conference which looks to be amazing. They have over 400 people due to be gracing the ITU this week. Once more let me promote the Roundtable that myself and Daniel Skog (Umea University) will be chairing entitled 'Life on the Move: Social Network sites and Online Communities'. We have some excellent speakers lined up including Nancy Baym, Malene Larson, Amanda Lenhart, Raquel Recuero and Jan Schmidt. With the massive amount of people there and the time limitations on each paper session, we hope that our Roundtable will serve as a good opportunity to actually have the time to ask a question and discuss some of the core issues of the conference a s a whole.

Conference season seems to be in full swing now after attending the ATACD conference last week and a trip I have planned to the States in the coming weeks.

I also might have time to squeeze in the odd other bits and pieces, but they mostly will have to be in England before Xmas. One thing that caught my eye was the following day at the British Library talking and about 'Web 2.0 and Social Research' on the 4Th Nov. Let me know if you are interested and I will send you more details.
