This week I’ll be hanging out in “The Westerpark”. Not because I’m choosing a new career as a street musician or as a re-born fisherman. But because I’m attending one of the best conferences in the World: PicNic ‘09.
This 4-day conference started out under the name of “Cross Media Week”, but covers a lot more subjects than just media and creativity. I’ve been coming here for years and have blogged about it several times. Last year I even got the chance to give a talk on the main stage. This was my talk about “Virtual Happiness“, just two months before I went offline.
I’m particulary looking forward to the following speakers at PicNic’09:
- Peter Molyneux
- Nicholas Nagreponte
- Linda Stone
- Ben Cerveny
- and of course Philip Zimbardo who I shared the stage with during TED University, earlier this year
Besides listening to the speakers, I’ll be having a lot of fun too. The weather is going to be perfect for catching up with all friends and have a coffee/beer 
Mijn nieuwe boek heet "Uitverkocht!" (mei 2011) en beschrijft de opkomst en de kansen van de aandachtseconomie.
In 2009 schreef ik het boek "Hoe overleef ik mijn inbox". Een zoektocht naar de effecten van information overload, overvolle inboxen en continue afleiding.
