    I agree with you Spazmatic. I also went to last year's SP conference, and coming from Melbourne I have also attended the AGIdeas Conferences over the past few years. In my opinion, there hasn't been much change in content over the past 7 years, except maybe in style and technology. I keep hearing "This is cool... or, I saw this and ripped it off... etc". It scares me that people are happy to play this game of 'follow the leader' and not tell people why. I enjoyed hearing people like Newstoday, This Is A Magazine (except for the the guy talking over the girl), and Vince Frost (to name a few) because they actually talked ABOUT their ideas and processes, showed elements of risk-taking and innovation, and differentiated themselves as "designers" rather than "stylists". I was really enthused after hearing the approach that Newstoday had taken in terms of launching themselves... now that is what I call an idea!
