Holiday season is officially over, back to the blog. Let's kick off with some good news: next week will be pretty exciting. Tech the Future was invited to attend and report live from NEXT: Nordic Exceptional Trendshop 2010 conference in Aarhus, Denmark.


NEXT is an annual Innovation Lab feature event about what's next on the technology radar. Inspiring international speakers and mindblowing technology are NEXT trademarks - and has been for the past 6 years.

NEXT 2010 is part conference, part exhibition, part cultural and social event. Concurrent with the renowned international cultural venue - Aarhus Festival (Århus Festuge) - NEXT 2010 offers boosts for mind and matter.

NEXT 2010 is not about the next big thing, it is not about how to bounce back, see the other side or catch the next wave. Predictability is paused.

NEXT 2010 is about the smallest thing, it is about new lanes, fresh dimensions, dawnings. NEXT 2010 airs a range of change breakers that define new business areas, new user mindsets, new tech paths. Initiators that will shape the spaces of time ahead. Starters.

Health, Food, IT, Design, and Green are the five categories to be reborn under the NEXT lense over the course of five days. I'm looking forward to the interesting speakers NEXT has lined up.

Sounds good? I'll make sure to drop an update every day from august 31st until september 3th.
