So your talk has been rejected by the conference chair? Never mind - join us at this years RejectConf. Everyone can talk about anything - as long as they stick to the 5 minute time limit.

when?

  • tuesday, 02. september, 21.00 - right after the TUESDAY NIGHT KEYNOTE
  • come early if you want a seat! last year the cove filled up pretty quickly ...

where?

  • pirate cove, tempelhofer ufer 1 (same great place as last year)
  • from rails conf, take underground line u6 going south (direction ‘alt-mariendorf’), exit at ‘hallesches tor’, cross the canal, turn right, follow the canal for about 100 meters.
  • (there will be some signs posted along the way.)

what?

  • everything that was too radical / daring / funny / crappy / ... to make it into the official program
  • continuing the glorious tradition from reject confs all over the world

how?

  • micro-presentations (15 slides, 20 seconds each, with automatic countdown = 5 minutes total)
  • or other very short ("lightning" style) talks (5 minutes max)
  • there is a projector, but no internet

who?

  • you!
