EUREKA! FACT SHEET

Eureka! 2009 presents the vision Discovery, Knowledge, and networking. The word Eureka has been linked to the concept of discovery since the early Greeks. DND Bergen-Hordaland fulfils the goals of the organization with this new two-day conference in Bergen, the 28-29th January.

Discovery is the unifying concept of this event that features contributions from every special interest group in the district.  Participants can expect to DISCOVER in-depth KNOWLEDGE building tutorials, a challenging keynote address, and the opportunity to meet and NETWORK with both new and old colleagues.  The conference will retain an informal atmosphere that encourages dialogue with the invited speakers both in and out of the program sessions. Creating the ‘IT meeting place’ in Bergen is just one goal of the organizing committee.

The planning committee is working hard to create an event that combines both thought provoking and visionary insights with practical solutions. To meet this commitment, the program is compact and filled with plenary sessions, tutorials, workshops and experience reports. Long breaks and lunches facilitate discussion and relationship-building during the event.

Our target audience comes from throughout Norway and the conference language will be Norwegian. However, a number of high-quality international speakers are invited, so English will be an occasional second language.

Please send your ideas and suggestions for speakers or themes to the committee.
