This year, the event will be held the Science Park in Amsterdam and is hosted by the University of Amsterdam. You are sure to run into old friends, acquaintances and new interesting people working on areas of the Internet that you've not yet encountered. From grids and clouds to accessibility, from hackers to hosters, from civil rights to registries - everyone will be attending. We start with a dinner buffet at 18.30h, so you can join us straight from work. We have the main space reserved for drinks, food and conversation only, so you can meet up with people you know or would like to meet. In a dedicated part you can continue talking and drinking, find recruiters to see if there are any new career challenges you should consider and get some information and nice giveaways from the various organisations. In the lecture hall we have a lot of interesting 'lightning talks' for you, so you can get a quick update on what is happening or about to happen. Speakers include Daniel Karrenberg, Alex Band (RIPE NCC), Carl Lens (Bendeburgers), Matthijs Mekking (NLnet Labs), Mark Overmeer (NLUUG), Rick van Rein (OpenFortress), Eric Velleman (Accessibility.nl) and Steven Pemberton (CWI). And of course in the same lecture hall we will have the traditional Chairman's debate at 20h.
