Under the heading 'What are you bringing', the Picnic Festival in Amsterdam promises three days of information, inspiration, collaboration, co-creation and entertainment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_DmwaVNAJ8&feature=player_detailpage

• Three full days of information, inspiration, collaboration, co-creation and entertainment. A chance for prolonged conversations and development of relationships.
• Interdisciplinary themes attract the widest possible audience. Every year, our key themes evolve to reflect changes in our personal lives, our society, economy and environment. Cutting-edge content with far-reaching applications.
• Get inspired by the latest visions from global thought leaders. But also learn from exciting, new and upcoming talents.
• Make and create. PICNIC is not for observers, it’s for participants. Lectures are only a small part of the PICNIC experience. Competitions, challenges, social games, matchmaking, labs and workshops encourage everyone to get involved and get their hands dirty.
• Play. Interactive exhibitions, games, networking sessions and unexpected surprises make for a fun and laid-back experience.
• Interaction across boundaries. Speakers guide students. Designers meet business developers. Hackers collaborate with artists. The combinations are endless.
• Casual, social atmosphere wrapped in a festival environment.
• Escape to another world. The entire event ground is transformed by the PICNIC look and feel.
