Novell BrainShare in Amsterdam

novellHet was eerder al duidelijk dat Novell opnieuw een BrainShare congres in Europa zou organiseren, maar nu communiceert Novell in een nieuwsbrief zelfs datum en plaats; van 18 tot 21 mei, in Amsterdam! Natuurlijk zou het spannend wezen om te weten waar precies in Amsterdam, maar dat was bij het persbureau nog niet bekend. We houden je op de hoogte.
(Volgens mij komt er maar één locatie in aanmerking en dat is de RAI. Voordat BrainShare enkele jaren geleden werd afgeblazen liepen de bezoekersaantallen terug, maar zelfs op het dieptepunt -2005?- waren er nog 1200 bezoekers. Ik zou geen andere locatie weten dan de RAI
