Earlier this week, I already wrote about FOWA Expo<\/a>, but here are more informal bits \u2013 moments and quotes written down, remembered or experienced.<\/p>\n

Networking<\/h2>\n

Prior the conference every attendee was asked to sign-up to FOWA Crowdwine<\/a> and choose her interests, so the organizers can help us meet more people. Those who did, received unique badges at reception with their tags, matches and opposites.<\/p>\n

My tags were naturally: user experience<\/em>, web standards<\/em>, typography<\/em>… and my matches were Robin Christoperson<\/a>, Andrew Pendrick<\/a>, Sarah Ward<\/a> and George Zafirovski<\/a>. I actually met George, who moved from Macedonia<\/a> to London some 10 years ago, so we easily switched to Croatian (Macedonia and Croatia are both former Yugoslaw republics).<\/p>\n

There was a couple of considerable job offers on the conference and if one was available, she could walk away with a brand new position.<\/p>\n

Randoms bits<\/h2>\n
