George Walkley reports from 2008 Tools of Change, New York
Posted on February 22nd, 2008 at 19:30
George Walkley attended the 2008 Tools of Change for Publishing conference in New York earlier this month and has posted his observations in four posts over at www.georgewalkley.com.
It sounds like it was a truly fascinating event, with some incredible speakers on the roster: Douglas Rushkoff, Tim O'Reilly, Seth Godin; and that was just the Monday Morning session.
I haven't had time to go through George's notes in detail just yet, but I can already tell that it was definitely an event I wish I could have attended. That's one of the few drawbacks to being self-employed sometimes: no corporate travel budget to tap into for these trans-Atlantic info-finding missions...

Hey Darren,
Those names tell me that would have been a great event!
Perhaps you don't enjoy any corporate travel perks, but as an independant business owner you can benefit from tax write-offs for business travel, and educational costs. I plan to set aside a percentage of my income for travel purposes, and recoup a portion of that at tax time.
This is very true. But a trip from UK to NY is still going to put a pretty big dent in my self-employed bottom line... might be worth looking into for next year though, or if there's ever something similar in the UK or Europe then I'll definitely be making the effort, I reckon.
