There's lots of Omega-focused theming sessions around, it'd be good to have a look at one of the other great responsive base themes.

Not only is Kendall a rock-star presenter (she hates that term, but she is!), she's extremely knowledgeable. This session is a "must see" for all beginners.

I have seen a couple of Kendall's theming presentations in the past and I think this would be a really good topic. And Kendall's presentations are always entertaining =).

+1, Kendall is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of theming and has given a ton of presentations at meet-ups, camps, etc.

Having attended several of Kendal's Omega sessions I suspect this one will be great for AdaptiveTheme.

What? Kendall got me to switch to Omega last year with her session in Michigan. Guess I'll be AdaptiveTheming in 2013.

Adaptive Theme looks very intriguing. Love the sass integration. I've attended Kendall's Omega Theme session last year and would recommend any and all designer/themers to take the time to sit in on this session. You will not regret it!
