Six years ago, when I first started Frontiers of Interaction, I wouldn’t have imagined to start talking about exporting the conference abroad. Well.. now read what I’ve just posted on the conference blog:

Business Social Networks
It’s been a while since I was first involved in the business social networks stuff; I think it was late 2004 when I subscribed to this new service named Linkedin which aim was to store and improve your network of people.
It was love at first sight and helped me finding some of the best programmers I’ve ever worked with. It was also a chance for my first appearance on a national magazine (it was Class Magazine, if I remember well) in an article on the usage in business environments of this new thing named “social networks”.
Frontiers of Interaction conference on the 4th of June
(note: as you can read in the About section I’m one of the two co-founders of this conference)
Today we unveiled the official date of the 6th edition of the Frontiers of Interaction conference, that’s going to be held in Rome (Italy) on the 4th of July 2010.
“Frontiers of Interaction was founded in 2005 to explore topics and ideas in the field of Interaction Design. In a very short time, it has become known as the leading Innovation conference in Italy. The unusual format creates an immersive experience featuring music, interactive and artistic installations, demo sites and keynotes, and makes it an ideal venue for thinkers and doers, innovators and academics, early adopters and long-term geeks.
Frontiers of Interaction is a hybrid show that attracts inspiring international speakers and Italian talents, creating a bridge between Europe and Silicon Valley (digital cultural “hot spots” around the world).”
