Hello

Bob Downe, our MC for the 80′s Electric Dreams night at the conference has sent us a video. Check it out below!

Win an iPad! – No, really!!

And all you have to do is…

• Search the internet for the most interesting information (youTube, Presos, Papers, Articles, Flickr etc) you can find on one of our Keynote or Invited Speakers (as a researcher, a pretty easy task I think) For a list see this blog below….
• Write 50 words on why you particularly found it interesting.
• Post the link/the video/the picture/article etc and your text on our Blog as a comment to this thread!  It’s that easy!

The most interesting information(as judged by the conference committee) will take home an IPAD!

On your marks, get set……go!!
