Veerle Pieters, one of Belgium most talented and respected webdesigners and author of the popular blog at http://veerle.duoh.com is lined up for 2 big events this year (with probably more coming up). She’ll be attending SXSWi in Austin Texas and later this year in London’s @Media 2006 as a speaker in the “Good Design vs. Great Design” session . I haven’t met Veerle in person yet but to me she always seemed like a very intriguing personality and a very professional designer with buckloads of talent. I frequent her blog daily.

Unfortrunately this year @Media 2006 is a little out of my league. The entry price is £395 + VAT per delegate which makes about 600-700 euro’s (accomodation like hotel, breakfast, flight, … excluded) which is alot of money for a simple freelancer like me. Maybe i’ll have the opportunity to meet her and other designers alike at other events in the near future. I’m sure going to keep an eye out for interesting events and try to attend some of them this year. As a matter of fact i’ll even put it in my “must do” list for 2006!
