next09 is history

With Itay Talgam and his terrific closing keynote next09 ended just a few hours ago. Jyri is right: The maestro and his presentation just rocked.

I hope and I am confident the whole conference did the same. Will write more later. Looking forward to the full video coverage, soon available from sevenload. Our event partner made the news today by inking a distribution deal with Brightcove and announcing this on the next09 stage.

This year's motto Share Economy was very close to the basic idea of the conference itself. The event has grown much bigger than ever expected. The driving force behind this growth is the next community - the people who are spending lots of money on tickets and sponsoring.

For the moment one thing remains to be said: Many thanks to the next team and the next community for making this two days possible! You rocked!
