Just back in office from a crazy 3 days in Geneva and a plenty with todos weekend. I was greatly hosted by UXnet local representative Florian Egger (I arrived there as colleague, I left as friend. Thanks so much Florian!) and spent the two partying nights speaking with bright minded people like Noel “Noneck”, Florian himself, Jan-Christoph Zoels, Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino and the rest of the Interaction Design Institute group.

I managed to convert my conference notes into HTML (if you use the great Mind Manager pls download the Map located here). As a disclaimer I’d say that they are extremely for my own personal use, and don’t know whether you can find them useful; you might want to integrate them with some of the excellent blog-reports findable on Technorati.
