Back to School!
My autumn term is almost underway. In 9 days I’ll be winging my way around the world to present an international series of workshops, conference talks and training events. I hope to visit with many friends and friends-to-be-met along the way; talk web standards and life; share knowledge and good times.
Here’s the entire public schedule for your enjoyment. Seats are limited at all the events, so if you are planning to go and haven’t registered, register soon. Also, drop me a line in comments if you have questions, you’ll be attending one of the events, or even just in the area.
Sydney, Australia: Web Directions South
The idea of being back in Australia for Web Directions South is so exciting I just don’t know what to say! I had such a wonderful time last year the 14 hour flight from LA doesn’t seem so terribly daunting. I’ll be co-presenting a one day workshop “Extreme Standards” along with Andy Clarke, as well as being your hostess and speaker at breakfast on Friday morning, where we’ll discuss “Defining the New Professionalism.”
Asturias, Spain: Fundamentos Web
Despite my love of the Spanish language, which I studied in school and speak with some fluency due to my many years living in the bilingual environment of Tucson, I’ve never visited Spain. I am so honored to be a part of Fundamentos Web I can’t even say, and am even going to attempt to present my one hour session on The True Value of Microformats in Spanish. I won’t dare try that for the workshop, Designing Web 2.0, with Andy Clarke.
London, England: Carson Workshops
Last year’s CSS for Designers was a great experience, and I’m returning again to co-present with Andy, this time with a twist. CSS for Developers focuses on practical aspects of CSS more than visual design: Organizing CSS file systems, how to organize and optimize your documents, tapping into the Cascade and inheritance for efficiency – all the yummy technical stuff I personally love. With Andy’s eye for design we will of course be working on ways to encourage the more developmentally-oriented to think in visual terms. A unique course, and one I’m confident will be of great value and terrific fun.
London, England: Geek Dinner
Once again the fabulous Ian Forrester has arranged a Geek Dinner for me on Friday 20th October, at The Bottlescrue in London. Come along, bring your friends. 5 GBP for food and fun, can’t be beat.
Boston, MA, USA: The Ajax Experience
Since I know absolutely squat about JavaScript and XMLHttpRequest other than what they do, it’s rather humorous I’d get picked up for such a seriously geeky conference as The Ajax Experience. Somehow, I ended up running into a few situations this year where I found myself speaking to hardcore Java web app developers and found that they were expressing a real interest in CSS! This excites me to no end, because getting developers on board with CSS and semantic markup is a really important step to building better platforms all around. So, I’m very honored to be involved in this event and am looking forward to learning a lot, too.
Austin, TX, USA: An Event Apart
I’m truly honored to participate as the guest speaker for An Event Apart. Jeffrey and Eric have both been active mentors and friends in my life for many years, and Jason is easily one of the most good-natured, smart, creative people I’ve met in the past couple of years. To be Apart with these fellas, well, what a thrill, particularly in a town as cool as Austin and a venue as awesome as the Alamo Drafthouse. I’ll be presenting “From the Content, Out.”
Yikes!
I’m looking at this list and I’m getting really excited. I’m really looking forward to each of these amazing events and the many wonderful experiences I know I’ll have along the way.
And I’m especially hoping to see you there.

Hi – I’ll hopefully see you at the Geekdinner (London) Molly!
Be good to see Andy too of course.
This is quite a busy schedule (Frequent Flyer Miles must be off the chart!)…it’s great that you’ll attend these events and influence even more people – steering them the right way on css and web-standards…nice.
Hey…didn’t you miss off the carsonworkshop thing you’re doing in October?
oops…I must have skimmed through and missed it, as you have in fact posted it…*looks down in shame*
Caroline, and that one even has a pretty graphic! Will you be there? Thanks Matt, it’ll be good to see you again.
And Mik: I posted to your blog. I miss you. xo too.
See you in Sydney at the end of the month
Yaaah!
It was so nice to meet you last year in Sydney, Molly.
Was thinking about going down this year as well. Work didn’t allow though.
I tell you, my eyesight is going in my old age
.
I’m not sure if I am there as I went to Dave S workshop last year and my boss may think I’m just wanting to get out of the office on their expense learning stuff which may have been covered already…although I would very much like to go.
Geek dinner in London sounds good. Keep meaning to go to those but end up being too lame to actually get off my ass and do it.
Are you ever coming to Toronto, or the relatively near vacinity? I’d love to meet you in person, and gladly pay for a dinner just to pick your mind.
Molly, we’ll warm up the grill for you here in Austin. See you here!
What happened to you taking life easy? I’d be exhausted just attending every one of those events, let alone speaking at them. You are an inspiration Molly. See you at Web Directions.
hi from switzerland… university stars only in one month…
[...] Interesting. The Ajax Experience no longer has the dubious distinction of have no women in its speaker list. It now has Molly Holzschlag. [...]
