My bags aren’t packed, but I was looking forward to KMworld until I found out about the conference that Stowe Boyd has designed a Symposium on Social Architecture to be held in Cambridge (just a few miles away!) November 14:

The Symposium on Social Architecture (SSA) will bring together the leading lights of the social software and social media space to discuss the overarching themes and underlying technologies that are driving the massive uptake of people-centered, user-driven, individual-connecting applications, communities, content, and services.

Since my re-awakening to what’s happening in the world of social software at Connect & Collaborate, I’m trying to get both back in the know and inspired. Stowe, of course, is a master at creating good conversation and the invitee list for this event has me really drooling. (In fact, I met Stowe and David Weinberger at one of my first KMWorld conferences - in Dallas in ‘99. What serendipity that was!)
