Coming up: a week in the hipster capital

On 14/04/2013

Not next week but the week after, the world (well, a certain horn-rimmed-glasses-wearing, Google-Glass-adoring, game-controller-wielding, funky-t-shirts-wearing subset thereof) will come to the self-proclaimed world capital of hipsterdom that is Berlin to talk digital. And I will go, too.

There are tons of events to choose from, mainly everything around the German Gaming Days (“Deutsche Games-Tage”) with a couple of conferences (Quo Vadis, a.maze) some more events (the Gamefest at the German Video Game Museum should be cool) and the German Gaming Award (“Lara-Award“).

Then, of course, there is Next Berlin, one of the bigger events for new, high-tech, start-uppy things. It is packed with big names, cool start-ups, competitions and parties. If you are in this space (and you reading this blog suggests you are) and are around, come by.

droidcon: Android Conference, Berlin (4 Nov 2009)

As Android continues to roll out (at least 18 devices by year-end), the ecosystem around it starts to sprout, too. To highlight this, an Android-centered business and development-oriented conference, Droidcon, will hit Berlin on 4 November, and I will be giving a keynote on licensing models and open source (full programme here).

It looks like a very exciting event, so I’d like to encourage everyone to come (there are 4 parallel tracks, so you do not have to listen to my ranting…)! Register here (and, no, I do not earn a commission).

I’ll post a little preview on what I will be talking about more specifically ahead of the event, so stay tuned.
