European Festivals/Conferences

[charlieindex]

Hi All,

Just curious if anyone knows any particularly good design festival/conferences in the European region? Or know of any lists for these type of events?

Thinking of heading to visit some people over there sometime this year so was thinking I'd organise it around a cool event :)

LeWeb sounds pretty big - http://www.webseoanalytics.com/blog/leweb-the-biggest-european-internet-event/

There is also WebStock (http://www.webstock.ro/) in Romania but not sure when that is this year. Another good suggestion might be to sign up to Xing.com as it is predominantly European and has a lot of events advertised there..

Where are you heading to in Europe? We are going to Romania in May for 5 weeks to spend time with my wife's family which should be nice :)

London to visit my girlfriend but happy to then venture anywhere after or before. Cheap flights within Europe make it pretty easy to get about.
Will keep an eye out and post up any interesting ones I come across :)

There is Web Directions London in May: http://atmedia11.webdirections.org/
There will probably be a dConstruct at some point: http://2011.dconstruct.org/

Also, if you are on twitter, go follow @Malarkey or @adactio they tweet about conferences in the UK quite a bit (Usually because they are speaking).
