About the Webmaster Forum

Now in its 9th year, the Annual Webmaster Forum has become something of a campus institution. We’re not sure if that’s good or bad, but soon we can all start saying that we’ve got 10 years of experience. Once again we’ve got a great keynote, a plethora of practical breakout sessions, the annual Cool Website Awards, and the proverbial free lunch. Past Forum keynotes include Jason Fried, Steve Krug, Christine Perfetti and Eric Meyer.
