On Monday, I returned from the NEXT No. 6 conference in Aarhus, Denmark.  For those of you who’ve never heard of or attended this event, I would highly recommend it (though it’s not exactly around the corner for most).

Held in an old power plant on the Aarhus harbor (see photo above), the weekend brought together a fascinating cross section of artists, writers, geeks, business folks and government-types – all of them focused on promoting really exciting future-based technology. The BUG presentation was well-received and I had some great discussions afterward – I was still gabbing with attendees at 2AM over beers and at local concerts! In the end, that’s why I attend these events – the people and the endless, engaging flow of ideas.

The conference organizers did a superb job – everything ran like a Swiss Danish watch – and I’m sure they could make good money just consulting others on how to run a great event. I expect the presentations to be made available on their site and I would recommend checking them all out. Already looking forward to next year!
