Well I’ve just returned from MacLive Expo in London where I was proud to be demonstrating Wacom’s brand new Cintiq 12 WX which one a “Best of Show” award.

There wasn’t much else on show that was very impressive, sadly the show was lacking in the big players like Adobe and Apple but the show did feel more like a Pro show than in the previous 2 years. I’m hoping that next year it will be back to it’s full glory, it would be a real shame not to have a pro Mac show in the UK.

Add parties, Guy Fawkes night, fireworks and mixer get togethers each morning and evening for essential networking opportunities and you can see why I am so excited about this years Flash on the Beach. Plus, it’s in my home town of Brighton!
I have just returned from IBC 2007
I worked on the Adobe stand, delivering demos on After Effects CS3 and Premiere Pro and taking questions regarding After Effects. It was a great show, my highlights included seeing Nuke from the Foundry
GridIron showed some amazing stuff in their VIP sessions and of course the Adobe Media Player looks like it is going to be huge, very exciting times.
I had a great stay in Amsterdam, favorite restaurants included Seasons.
As always it was great to see all my friends at the show.
