This fifth conference Opening doors across Cyberspace ( presentation links) took place in the de facto capital of Europe: Brussels. Not only Belgian delicious specialities in chocolade or beer - but also the royal hotel with the "imperial" flair of this EU-metropolis and its pleasant athmosphere - built the perfect background for our conference. Among many known faces we could welcome participants from quite a few (newly integrated) EU-countries. Intensive conference sessions were started with a city sightseeing tour und a historical expedition into empirical beer history (beer with chocolade?; trapist-beer;...) framed these educative insights. A real European passion then found its expression in a classical concert with works by Dvorak and Bruch Speakers and participants encountered a carefully crafted seminar program. Networking was written with capital letters. To bad, that we could not all move into the hotel - we were such a real ShareWare family! Thank you very much to all participants and sponsors!!!
