We are proud & happy to invite you to the MindTrek Conference from October 1st-2nd, 2009! Once again, the conference is going to be an international event full of interesting speeches, panels, meetings and – most importantly – people.

September 30th is the day reserved for the Academic MindTrek and special sessions arranged by MindTrek partners.

Put the dates in your calendar! And let us know what the best choice would be for the…

…MINDTREK ANIMAL OF THE YEAR 2009!

MindTrek will have a theme animal of the year, and you can be the one that suggests the perfect animal to us. What animal represents MindTrek best and why? Last time it was the geese. We somehow felt they represented well what was going on in the world of the internet and social media. What animal would do that job this year? The person who has the best idea will win a two day conference ticket to the MindTrek 2009 Conference. Fire away! Send your suggestions to info@mindtrek.org

ACADEMIC MINDTREK

The Academic MindTrek conference brings together a cross-disciplinary crowd of people to investigate current and emerging topics of media in the ubiquitous arena. Business, social, technical and content-related media topics will be discussed this year.

September 30th is the main Academic day, featuring the following three tracks: Social Media, Ambient and Ubiquitous Media and Digital Games. In addition, special academic sessions (e.g. tutorials, workshops, and multidisciplinary sessions) will be held on Oct 1st & 2nd, parallel to the MindTrek business conference.

The organising committee invites you to submit original, high-quality full papers, long or short, addressing the special theme and the topics, for presentation at the conference and inclusion in the conference proceedings.
