Im Oktober 2009 fand in Wien eine Twitter-Party statt. Schon da entstand die Idee zu einem deutschen Pendant. Im Januar ist es soweit.

Qualitative Research in Web 2.0: The Next Leap!

Tackling issues and opportunities of integrating Web 2.0/3.0 into qualitative research

25-26 March 2010, Berlin

The international conference on Qualitative Research in Web 2.0 (QRWEB2010) will be held on the 25 & 26 March 2010 in Berlin. This unique and highly interactive conference will bring together academics and industry practitioners to discuss and brainstorm the latest on-line methodologies for qualitative research. For more information about this event and registration, please visit the website.

Seedcamp is planning to hold 8 Mini Seedcamps in 2010 and expanding their geographical coverage (Spain is new) and doubling-down on the traditionally under-served regions of the Balkans and Eastern Europe. The planned date for Berlin is the 16th June.

Can only local teams apply to a Mini Seedcamp?
No, each Mini Seedcamp is open to anyone. In fact they encourage teams to apply from across the region. Last year they had a Romanian team in Paris, an Israeli team in Sweden and an Estonian company in London. We are blessed with short flights and great low cost airlines in Europe, so take advantage and come along to which every event you want – in fact some teams successfully applied to more than one last year and learnt a lot along the way.

What happens if you are a top team at Mini Seedcamp?
The top teams from each Mini Seedcamp in 2010 will go directly into a final selection process in July of up to 40 teams for investment – in some rare cases they may invest in teams directly after a Mini Seedcamp. At the end of the final selection process in July they will choose the top teams to invest in.

Why are Mini Seedcamps valuable to teams and the seedcamp organizers?
Other than the awesome mentoring and validation teams get at the Mini Seedcamps, 60% of teams who come through to Seedcamp Week came from a Mini Seedcamp and 50% of teams they invest in they met at a Mini Seedcamp.

Team applications ARE OPEN! The deadline is midnight, 25th May

Sinner&Schrader is moving the next conference to Berlin! SinnerSchrader and STATION Berlin will jointly host next10 on May 11 & 12, 2010. With this move they aim to build the next conference in Berlin into the leading european conference for the digital and creative industry.

The main topic of next10 is Game Changers:
Game Changers break rules and redefine business models. They are innovative and take risks, free from the burdens of mass marketing and mainstream. Companies that change the game bet on disruptive innovations to create new products and services, they don’t leave it at continuous improvement of the present.

The world is full of Game Changers. At next10 they will show the most interesting Game Changers from a broad variety of industries in two days. They currently focus on Automotive, Banking, Retail, E-Commerce, FMCG, Mobile, Media, Entertainment, Advertising, Travel, Tourism and Health Care.
