One of the steps in creating a conference is deciding what to do with regards to participant networking. The last few conferences I’ve attended have each had their own networking system, and only 10% of the participants even looked at it. I only did because I have a direct monetary interest in good networking.

I believe this is part of social networking fatigue. People get inundated with network invites, made worse by some less-than-ethical designs that suggest you must sign in to your email to complete signup.

So for Design For Mobile we decided to instead use existing networking mechanisms. Once participants sign up for the conference, they will be invited to an attendee-exclusive LinkedIn group. Anybody can become a fan on the Design For Mobile Facebook page, and network directly there. As we firm up the session abstracts, each will get their own page on our own site, with comments enabled.

Additionally, you can now become a fan of Little Springs Design on our company Little Springs Design Facebook page! While there, add any fun pictures, feel free to say how great we are, or whatever you want.
