Let’s take a run through some of the the events and competitions that are coming up this month.
There’s no An Event Apart this month, but there are still some quality conventions and training sessions to hit up.
We’re back with another full month of events, awards, and competitions from around the world.
There’s some big events this month, including An Event Apart 2009 in Boston.
So check out the location and prices of what’s happening in your area!
And now for something completely different (and no, I don’t mean a man with three buttocks). With the new changes coming to Creattica, I’ve been busy rounding up a delicious list of all that is sweet in the world of events, competitions, and awards.
If I’ve missed one, let me know and I’ll try and snag it for June!

The concept is simple. Web teams take each other on, at the same location, to build a complete website in 24 hours. No excuse, no extensions, no budget overruns.
