First view of Korea
I just returned from the ICON2008 International Content Creator’s Conference in Busan, Korea, which I was invited to attend as a keynote speaker. I was busy enough that I didn’t post while on the trip, but I’m going to break the trip down into a few different posts here.
This was my first visit to this beautiful country, and I wish I had been able to stay longer than only 2 1/2 days.
The Bexco Convention Center
Most of my visit was spent at the conference – in addition to giving my talk, there were other interesting talks to attend, prep meetings, press interviews, a few meet-and-greet events, receptions and time touring the exhibition.
The ETC also had a recruiting booth on the exhibit floor, so I had friends in town.

From left to right: Jiyeong coordinates the ETC’s Asian activities; John develops and manages the ETC’s Asian relationships; and Rebecca is Director of Admissions. Missing from this shot is Nayoung, the ETC student who is responsible for my invitation to speak at the conference. Thanks you guys, what a blast hanging out with you!
