Topping the list when sorted by coolness, FITC in Amsterdam had a slick and calm feel with a high calibre of speakers from a huge variation of backgrounds.<\/p>\n

The general mood was a welcome shift from the types of conferences I normally attend which tend to focus on the web and the tech that delivers it. FITC stands for Future, Innovation, Technology and Cool shit and as such I found myself talking less about Javascript and more of the philosophy and psychology surrounding what we do.
