While we’ve already announced the keynote conversations for mesh ’07, we’ve yet to announce panelists. So over the next few weeks we’re going to start doing just that in a series of blog posts. The posts will set out panelist bio information – more information about the sessions themselves will follow shortly. Panelist bio information will also available on the main page of the mesh site. We’ll start today with a mesh friend from mesh ’06 – Jen Evans of Sequentia.
