This year marks the 10th anniversary of ThingsCon. The first ThingsCon was organized in Betahaus in Berlin in the spring of 2014, and later that year, the first Amsterdam edition took place at the offices of info.nl (see Peter Bihr visiting Amsterdam above).
It deserves a special edition this December, and we are planning a celebrative one. We will send newsletters to our community, but we would like to contact our former speakers and workshop hosts from the last ten years (yes, that is you, too!).
Save the date
We keep this short but want to share the date for our two-day conference: 12 and 13 December. We plan to create the usual mix of inspiring talks, engaging workshops, and connecting exhibitions, including a specially commissioned exhibition connected to our theme. And there will be a party, too!
We hope you will join us!
Our theme: Generative Things
Looking back at the last decade of ThingsCon and where we are now, a look into the next decade will discuss the relationship with things. To initiate a debate, we frame these new things as Generative Things. Find more on the theme on this page.
Invitation to contribute: RIOT
After a couple of years, one of the activities we are shaping is restarting a new collection of articles bundled in the RIOT publication, the State of Responsible IoT. The last edition was published in 2020 and deserves a new one!
Like other years, we invite contributors for articles, aiming for an inspiring mix of academic and practice-rooted articles. Articles can be new works or adapted versions of earlier articles. Check earlier editions to get the feel.
Engage!
We hope you will engage with the theme and think with us to make another memorable edition! You can contact us by replying to this email or connecting directly with one of our team members.
You can also reach out if you have ideas for other collaborations, special tracks, workshops, etc. We are looking forward to a special edition!!!
