It is with great pride that we can announce our next conference about happiness at work. The conference takes place on May 26 from 9:30-5PM at the Danish Design Center in Copenhagen.
We have a great speaker lineup, including:

The themes of the conference are:

@ Karl:
Yes, we plan to film the speakers and hopefully will be able to make them availeble as streaming videos ands/or on a DVD :o) So far, I looks like two speakers will be speaking in english. More on the video part at a latter date.
