Coverage of the SND/S workshop by delegates in Scandinavia »» 24-27 May, 2007
Robb Montgomery, Editor and CEO of visualeditors.com, at the Mac lab blogging station of the Stockholm SNDS 2007 conference and workshop (near the bar!).

===== UPDATE =====
I have arrived in Cape Town for the World Newspaper Congress, but can promise more Stockholm postings in this blog as people return home and edit their stories and photos.
I wanted to extend a special thanks to Lars Andersson for roping Peo Strindlund of Apple Europe (in Sweden!) to loan us some machines for the live event portion of the program.
Made a huge splash and now I want big screen iMac to develop on. (Sneaky Apple is . . .)
Now that Scandinavian designers and editors have seen multimedia blogging done in this completely transparent matter - they are excited to do more of it.
The sudden SAS Airline strike did disrupt many people’s weekend travel, but I have already heard from former SND and SNDS president, Svenåke Boström who is back in Sundsvall and promises to post up his photos shortly to the blog.
How can I post something on the SNDS Stockholm blog. I was there and have some good photos.
That’s the spirit! How about you? Doesn’t have to be photos, maps, podcast or videos. Words work just fine, too.
I’ll create a log on for you to post your thoughts or impressions of SNDS-Stockholm.
E-mail me if you need help in posting to the blog or uploading photos.
Thanks to all.

After a multi-hour, multi-wine, multi-course dinner at the amazing F12 restaurant at Fredsgatan 12, a few of the organizers and speakers from Chile, Sweden, Denmark, and the states accompanied Anna on a sunset walking tour from Old Town back to the Clarion.

A tip for any conference organizer anywhere - Let the Scandinavians plan the gala awards dinner. A glimpse of Chile’s Chris Edwards here enjoying the moment.
There were many moments like this.

A boat cruise was the perfect airing out after the SNS conference.

One of the things that I like the most about this kind of meetings is the people that you get to know. In general, you can always meet two or three new people, and suddenly you have a special group to hang out with, and they become like your “Best Friends Forever”, well at least for a couple of days.
In my case, my BFF in Stockholm were two great guys from Finland: Oli and Sami. We were members of the fantastic brainstoming group “The Rest of the World” that performed in Stephanie Grace Lim’s presentation.
I got to know these guys when Stephanie was looking for wrestlers, and they seated in our table. They had that look of “The rest of the world” that we were looking for, so we waited that they finish their beers to make them them the offer to be part of the team.
The rest is history, but if you happened to laugh with our performance, you can imagine how we enjoyed planning it! It was sooo funny!
Anyway, today they´re returning home, and I hope to see them again. Oli, Sami, you made me laugh a lot, and totally you were my BFF of these days.
Daniela, of The Rest of the World’
PS. If you took pictures of our performance, please can you send them to ruz.daniela at gmail.com? Our mothers are waiting for them…and that is true!
