My friends Anki Nilsson and Magnus von Schenck will be running Expo-C in Karlskrona (Sweden) again this year since it exceeded all their expectations last year. They have asked me to help out as well with the content, some moderating and starting up the OpenSpace activity on one of the evenings. (Read: I will just hang out and have a good time. It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it.)
Since it's a small conference, maxing out at 120 attendees (by choice and design, so don't wait if you'd like to register!) and a single track where everyone will "see all", they have decided to change all the speakers (even though last year's all did a great job).
The speakers this year are:
- Erik Meijer, Microsoft, USA (Haskell, C-Omega, C# 3, VB9...)
- Niclas Nilsson, Activa, Sweden (Ruby on Rails...)
- Dan North, Thoughtworks, England (Agile, BDD...)
- Lennart Ohlsson, Lund University, Sweden (dynamic languages...)
- Michael Stal, Siemens, Germany (one of the POSA authors...)
- Juha-Pekka Tolvanen, MetaCase, Finland (Domain-Specific Modeling, Model-Driven Development...)
You find the new site here: www.expo-c.se
I'll be posting some thoughts about the speakers over the coming few weeks on the Expo-C blog, here: www.expo-c.com/RSS/rss.xml
BTW, isn't this a beautiful picture of Karlskrona?
On top of that, it's sooo nice that something international and really fun will take place here!
