Networking and Workshops

While networking sessions provide a meeting place for communities that possibly never worked together before, workshops present the state-of-the-art in a domain and provide a platform for knowledge exchange and learning. "They are less formal discussion groups than the official conference sessions, encouraging active participation and lateral thinking. They are open to everybody who wishes to attend." Informs the Helsinki IST 2006 website.
