November is shaping up to be one of our busiest months for events. This week our design team is in NYC for The Future of Web Design; Ted O'Meara will be in Baltimore next weekend to support Education Hack Day; Michael Bleigh just landed in NYC after presenting at Ruby Midwest, and he, along with all the Senior Partners, will be jetting off to China in two days to meet the Intridea East team in Shanghai for RubyConfChina and then to HangZhou to attend the first Intridea East retreat.

This November, a crowd of pioneering programmers will gather at Digital Harbor High School in Baltimore to create applications that provide solutions to teachers, students and schools.

The American Education system is a large, complex structure. It is often targeted as a system that desperately needs improvement, yet its proportion makes is seem impenetrable and unchangeable. As technology advances schools struggle to keep up. Teachers work to find ways to use technology on their own to improve their systems locally and to reach students in more modern and relevant ways.

In just a few weeks, our design team, led by Jurgen Altziebler, our Managing Director of UX, will descend upon Manhattan for three days of intelligent discourse on the future of web (and mobile) design at this year's highly anticipated Future of Web Design (FOWD) event.

This year we are sponsoring this remarkable event which brings over 500 talented designers together for intimate sessions on the most current topics in web design. Top industry experts will be flown in to lead two days of informative sessions in which attendees will learn about the future of everything from HTML5, CSS3, Compass, Sass, Mobile UX, iOS design, Haml, responsive web design, content management systems, branding, animations, and JavaScript, which will be followed by a day of in-depth workshops.

This weekend we'll be supporting the innovation that happens when artists and technologists collide, through our sponsorship of Betascape 2011.

Last weekend, we sponsored and presented at MobileUXCamp in DC to discuss the ways in which mobile devices are reshaping our interactions with the web. This weekend we'll be in Baltimore, supporting the incredible work that happens when artists and technologists focus their combined talents.

Thursday night you'll find Intridea at the annual Social Matchbox Startup Launch Event. We're joining an impressive lineup of companies to support this grand event put on by DC-area Startup Founders, Investors and Leaders that helps startups gain exposure by providing access to prominent journalists and investors while providing a competitive launch platform.

Thursday evening at 6pm we'll be at the US Navy Memorial Heritage Center to observe the startup presentations and offer our expertise to fledgling entrepreneurs. Intridea's Senior Partner and Co-Founder, David Naffis, will be available to answer questions, give advice and talk about Intridea's own successful launch strategy. If you plan to attend the event, be sure to stop by our table to say hello! We look forward to talking with you about web development, design, entrepreneurship, startups, and Ruby on Rails.

Last month Intridea sponsored RailsCamp New England - a Rails retreat in the western mountains of Maine. Adam and I attended the event for the second time (this was the fourth U.S. Rails Camp, and the second one in Maine) along with 38 other Ruby and Rails developers. On a rainy Friday evening we all settled in the cozy Maine house for a long weekend of geekery.

This year we're proud to be a Platinum Sponsor of Mobile UX Camp DC, a mobile technology themed BarCamp. The event is supported by other leading technology companies and will be attended by mobile application developers, content writers and marketers, and others that want to gain an understanding of entrepreneurship and innovation in the mobile space.
