euroGel in a month
Aug 1, 2006
One month from today - on Friday, 1st September, the first-ever euroGel conference will arrive in Copenhagen.
Our speakers represent eight different European countries - Denmark, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Britain, France, and Slovenia - and the US - and include designers, artists, performers, businesspeople, and activists. See the full speaker list.
Or take a peek at a partial attendee list.
euroGel will be unlike any other conference you've ever attended, creating a Europe-wide conversation about "good experience in all its forms". Given current world events, I'd say it's more important than ever for us to gel this community. This is our chance to lay the groundwork for a European community of people who are creating good in the world - in business, technology, and the arts.
There are two ways you can attend euroGel:
1. Buy a ticket (the earlier, the better so I know my catering head-count!)
2. Become a volunteer - we still need several people who can be available either Thursday 31 Aug, Friday 1 Sept, or both in exchange for attendance at part of euroGel. E-mail Cat (cat at goodexperience dot com) if you're interested.
If you can't make it, post a link to euroGel on your blog, newsletter, mailing list, or otherwise "spread it" to your community. We could still use lots more exposure. Forward this link, the euroGel homepage: http://gelconference.com/c/eurogel06.php
I hope you'll make the effort to be with us in a month!
P.S. The venue is really special: it's Copenhagen's Royal Library, on the islet of Slotsholmen. There are layers and layers of experience and history to explore. From Slotsholmen | Travel Story:
Originally the site of Christianborg Slot, a palace for the Danish royal family, Slotsholmen, literally 'the palace island', was separated from the rest of Copenhagen by a canal running around it. Nowadays, it is easy to cross into the island by one of the many bridges spanning the canal. The palace has been turned into the seat of government, and now houses the national parliament, Supreme Court, and Folketinget, or parliamentary chamber. Its royal grandeur cannot be missed. In front of the palace, in the courtyard, under the watchful eye of Christian IX seated on a horse, horsemen still train in their royal uniforms... Walking through a throughfare brings you to a garden in front of the royal library.
