Conference program 2013

Register now!

The program for the conference is shaping up to provide an exciting mix of topics and speakers. Below is the (provisional) program. We will add the names of confirmed speakers as we go along.

Next to some plenary sessions, we offer a broad range of parallel sessions that cover a wide variety of topics. This way we can explore how open data and re-use are moving forward on many different fronts. You can get your free ticket now!

We also have an additional room available, to be used for ad-hoc sessions and spontaneously formed groups. Feel free to get in touch and suggest speakers for any of the sessions, or for topics to cover in the Open Mic session!
