Check this amazing time lapse video of the opening of the conference. Thanks to Michael Scholl and Bread and butter!

A big thanks for all of you! for your nice words, kindness and …understanding! Hope you go home with tones of great moments to remember!!

This is now a tradition: every year bread and butter comes up with an amazing animation that we play during breaks. Here is this year's version:

The 2007 version is archived here.

You know our policy: we don't do things unless we can do them well. In 2006 we couldn't do good tshirts, so you didn't get one. In 2007, we managed to get them done 2 weeks before the event, when the budget became a bit more black and a bit less red. They were so beautiful that you still see them all around flickr, on Scoble's shoulders for example. And Thierry Crouzet even interviewed José Bové with his tshirt, unfortunatly nobody could snap a picture of that historical moment ;)

In 2008, we had to do even better. So Cristiana asked Rodrigo Soares, one of the world's best young fashion designer, to oversee the production of the tshirts. And he landed in Geneva today after going to Brazil for two days to bring them back.

^{Rodrigo with 6 - yes SIX!! - pieces of luggage, coming back from Brazil were the tshirts were printed}

At what other conference do you get a tshirt created by one of the best design agency and produced by a famous fashion designer? And how do these tshirts look like? Well, it was John's birthday two days ago, and today he threw a small party. So I left my email alone for one hour, popped by, and offered him to be the first person on earth to wear the tshirt, and here is the result:

Niiiiiiiice, I like!!
