Along with 200 other user experience professionals, I had an amazing time at Midwest UX in Columbus, Ohio this weekend. It was the first year of the conference, and the organizing team did a wonderful job!

Great speakers, outstanding keynotes (Jesse James Garrett of Adaptive Path, Marc Rettig of Fit Associates, Dan Willis of Sapient, and Jared Spool of User Interface Design), and an incredible group of attendees. I hope to publish posts later this week with my notes and thoughts on the conference.

For people looking for the presenter slideshows, here's a partial list which I will be updating as presenters post their slideshows.

Unfortunately, several Midwest UX presenter slideshows don't turn up on searches for "midwestux" on Slideshare. I'm sure the Midwest UX conference organizers will have a more complete list on their website soon.
