Life At Bonnier - Rachel Fishman Feddersen

Gearing up for GRID

What’s a GRID conference really like? A GRID10 veteran gives us the scoop and a GRID11 newbie shares what she’s looking forward to.

Meet GRID10 Veteran Nina Åkerberg, Reporter, Di Weekend (above, right):

What is your favorite memory from a past GRID conference?

I was happy to chat with so many creative people in the wonderful September warmth. I met so many new people both in the face to face-meetings but also on the boat, in the looooong toilet queue and around lunch tables.

Big day today. (Isn't every day?) First, I'm giving that presentation to the Parenting Group on the South by Southwest Interactive festival. But that's just a side project. Today's real focus is downloading all the information from the many staffers who attended Mom Congress yesterday and figuring out what will be most appealing and useful to our readers. In our weather report: still crisp (read "cold") and sunny. Note to spring: you're supposed to be here now.

So, anyway, for Mom Congress, some ideas include:

Sunny and crisp in NYC. Not terribly spring-y yet, but way better than yesterday, when I was super-virtuous and went for a run before work in the 22-degree F wind chill. Although, actually, I'm guessing that temperature sounds kind of warm to the Nordic among you. I realize I'm a little weather obsessed, but I can't be unique; there's a reason that weather.com is so popular.

A Week in the Life: the Parenting.com Director kicks a nutty week off with a bunch of launches.

Good morning! (It's still morning in New York, anyway.) When I enthusiastically signed up to blog for a week, it felt like my assignment was ages away, so far in the future I didn't even need to start thinking about it. But, as usual, time passed, and suddenly it's now, and I have nothing in the can ready to go. So everyone at Bonnier gets to hear about how nutty things are at Parenting.com right now, because that's all I got.
