We're organizing the Cognitive Cities Conference, an event about the future of cities and technology (http://conference.cognitivecities.com) in February.
We're also supporting the DLD Conference in Munich in January with web coverage from the event.
Both conferences have a killer line-up of speakers.
It's about time for a PSFK salon in Berlin, right?
