I ...Good write-up Iain, and thanks for the thanks.<br /><br />I am thrilled that The Elevator Pitch has been such an enormous success and that it has become a firm favourite for everyone who attends.<br /><br />The 'pool' of known and recognized talent for major conferences is not endless, and with other conferences using the same speakers, it becomes more and more difficult to keep the event fresh and different to other events. The Elevator Pitch has become the perfect shop window to introduce new talent into that 'pool'. By next years FOTB attendees would have voted for 6 new speakers through the E.P. Add to that my personal choices, means that the idea I had of introducing potential new speakers through a 3 minute spot seems to have worked. It introduces new talent and it gives an opportunity for them to show their stuff.

'Difficult second album' comes to mind.<br /><br />Think you nailed my feeling after the elevator pitch, I need more :o). Thanks for the kind comments and I hope to see you in the old smoke sometime soon!Jasper Stockerhttp://jasperstocker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717133688018454834.post-91809507920015727682010-10-01T13:12:37.296+01:002010-10-01T13:12:37.296+01:00Hi Iain!

Thanks for your kind comments, I'm very glad to have you as a pokemon - hahaha! <br /><br />Just one thing I wanted to say which I maybe didn't make clear. I don't think that HTML5/JS can do the experiential Flash like stuff yet, but I do think it's on a path towards being able to do the less specialised areas that Flash covers. <br /><br />How long will take? Who knows! But I do think that the browser vendors seem to have a new sense of momentum and progress that I haven't seen before. <br /><br />But yes, it's a minor point. The main thing is that whether you use JS or Flash for a game, it still wouldn't run on an iPad, so let's see how that changes over time! <br /><br />I'm v glad to hear you enjoyed the session - I think you know more than anyone how much work I put into it :) <br /><br />cheers!<br /><br />SebSeb Lee-Delislehttp://sebleedelisle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717133688018454834.post-37723048475910712502010-10-01T13:08:44.271+01:002010-10-01T13:08:44.271+01:00Great write up man!
And to be honest, I very much ...Great write up man!<br />And to be honest, I very much agree with the part about returning speakers. Of course they have a lot of pressure trying to make it better every year. But some try to achieve this by just showing tons of new stuff, oftwen without a context, instead of having some original twist or more build-up.<br />So good luck next year ;-)Michiel van der Roshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07569592804407100813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717133688018454834.post-89966262249633810322010-10-01T12:54:36.841+01:002010-10-01T12:54:36.841+01:00Sounds like you had a great time.
