PICNIC, Bite-Sized 2

Quotes from delegates

From our delegates, PICNIC in one sentence:

• “Creative chaos."

• “Creativity explosion generated by hundreds of people uncorking their brains.”

• “Inspiring sessions, creative environment, interesting co-visitors, see you next year!”

• “Surfing on the vibe of sharing ideas...”

• “PICNIC inspired me a lot. I dream of having some sort of PICNIC in Ukraine.” (Also: Cape Town, Dubai, Barcelona, Paris…)

• “Bringing people together with knowledge, technology, art, fun and vision.”

• “Finally an event I where learned something again.”

…and their best PICNIC moment:

• “Director of The Simpsons Movie arriving on stage while playing the theme song on a tuba -- and most of the audience was shuffling to the toilets or for coffee without realising it. Classic irony!”

• “The feeling I was part of a sensational media event.”

• “It was heart-warming to notice that the applause after the presentation by Dr Sugata Mitra on computer education in rural India lasted at least three times longer than all the others.”

• "The overwhelming feeling that you are walking among and listening to the creative minds that are going to be deciding how the world of media and the Internet will look in 10 years."

• “Gotta say, I loved the idea of Woody Harrelson leading a yoga class in the courtyard.”
