In the deluge of design conference occuriing at this time of year, I wanted to remind everyone of the Business of Design Week (BoDW) that will be in Hong Kong from December 10-15. http://www.bodw.com/eng/index.html
It is an excellent conference and typically has about 1,000 attendees. It is also a great way to make contacts with people all over Asia. There is also a big trade show along with the conference.
If you come, you can see me introducing some speakers on the big stage 
Also, if you are an Educator, there is also an education research conference coming up in Hong Kong. It is International Associations of Design Research conference 2007 (November 12-15). http://158.132.218.50:8000/program.php
