I love the idea of the QR code and see that Moo.com has an online app for printing QR code stickers. http://www.tagmore.com/moo/ I confess that I have not looked into them, but now that I have a Blackberry I certainly should. Thanks Brent for all the amazing work you do at the Guild on our behalf. And thank you Leonard for this post. Brent is a work horse!

Thanks for all the kind words of encouragement. I love the idea of simple tools doing powerful things and this QR code stuff fits that perfectly. The funny thing is that I can't find any encoder/reader software for the Mac/iPhone and so I haven't even tested it yet. I think it would be cool to have QR codes outside each room for concurrent sessions then you could walk by and "scan" it and get more info about the presenter and topic than what can fit in the conference guide. I agree that the print copies are good to have but the QR codes make it REALLY easy to get people from the handout to the digital world as well. Lots of killer ideas in this space. As soon as I find a Mac/iPhone app to handle development for this I'm going to get t-shirts and hats printed with all my info in the QR code so I don't have to handout business cards...you can just take a picture and get a text message all in one shot. No pun intended :-) Hi Leonard! Thanks for all the kind words of encouragement. I love the idea of simple tools doing powerful things and this QR code stuff fits that perfectly.

This year twittering proved popular. We also had an SMS service running for Q+A sessions but this didn't prove as popular amongst delegates as we thought it might which seems somewhat ironic at a conference focused on learning using mobile technologies. I'm not sure that the QR-coded mini-guide described here would replace our main conference guide (although it would be certainly cheaper to produce!) as our guide has become a bit of a collectors item which delegates like to refer to after the conference. Printing the PDF or reading from screen just doesn't seem to be the same for many delegates. Thanks for the heads-up! Graham Yes, listening :-)
