Blender Conference 2009, 23-24-25 october Amsterdam

The 8th annual Blender Conference will be again in Amsterdam, this time we've got  (tentatively) hold of a great new location, the former 19th century court building "De Balie". This grand cafe / theatre / cinema is right in the center of Amsterdam, on the Leidseplein, the heart of Amsterdam's music, theatre and clubbing nightlife.

Because of the growing amount of visitors, we had to seek a bigger place... In De Balie we will get a cinema/theatre with 160 seats, the smaller "Salon" with 80 seats, and sufficient informal space to meet, relax and lunch in our own grand cafe.

De Balie offers great multi-camera streaming services, and stores most talks on their servers for later viewing.

Free WIFI, bring your laptop!

We don't offer computers for people to use...
