Cederholm Out, Marcotte In For Boston

Due to an unforeseeable (and therefore unforeseen) conflict, Dan Cederholm has had to very regretfully bow out of An Event Apart Boston.

So we asked Dan for recommendations regarding who might replace him, and he mentioned Boston-area wünderkind Ethan Marcotte. Ethan delivered a very popular talk at last year’s Boston show, so we were happy as could be about Dan’s choice. The only question was, could we get the elusive Mr. Marcotte to return?

Fortunately, our entreaties fell on receptive ears, and Ethan has agreed to join the lineup with an all-new talk that we can’t wait to hear:

Comps and Code: Couples’ Therapy

High-end design. Standards-compliant code. Doesn’t exactly sound like a match made in heaven, does it?

In this session, Ethan will look at a few high-profile brands, and discuss the intersection of quality code and top-notch art direction. He’ll discuss strategies for UI developers to achieve that extra level of ‘bulletproofing’ in their templates, as well as tips for designers to better convey creative requirements to their coding counterparts.

A full listing of Boston sessions will be available on our website in mid-March. Want to be notified the minute it goes up? Subscribe to our news feed.

As for Mr. Cederholm, he’ll be back on our speaking platform at An Event Apart San Francisco, August 18–19, 2008 at The Palace Hotel.

Meanwhile, please join us in welcoming Ethan Marcotte to An Event Apart 2008!
