In a few weeks there will be yet another conference on the future of the Internet, but this one is just a short distance from Ljubljana, and for seminar students does not impose travel restrictions, Further, the entry fee for the first day, 30 March, is free, which is also hard to beat.
The emphasis seems to be on the corporate sector, but research in Europe is also accentuated. Some of the speakers, like Bill Dutton and Geert Lovink, provide scholarly input.
Dates: 30 March – 2 June, place: Bled, Slovenia
