Actually the speed-dating is somewhat cool. You get to talk to everyone that shows up for 1-2 minutes about your research. You do this the evening before the meeting starts, add some beers and you're set for a conference where you know a lot of people. -Thomas Michiel Van Bel wrote:

Hi all,
During ISMB/ECCB 2009, the ISCB Student Council discussed the idea to prepare an event associated to ECCB 2010 which will be held in Ghent in Belgium, September 26-29 2010. http://www.eccb2010.org/
The organizing committee is highly supporting us. During the Student Council open business meeting, Michal Linial, chair of the ECCB steering committee, suggested we do something. We also talked to Yves Moreau, who will likely be the chair of ECCB 2010.
The first day, Sunday 26, there will be workshops and tutorials. Then, 27-28-29, there will be talks. Mainly a main single track with some software demos in parallel at some points.
* Sunday 26 evening will be the opening reception. * Monday 27 ? * Tuesday 28 will be the conference social event. * Wednesday 29, everybody leave.
The opportunities so far would be:
* Organize a social event (think drinking) on Monday evening (Yves M. told us he can give money!!) * Organize any event (symposium, speed-dating, workshop, soft skills, tutorial, ...)
Speed-dating ? Doesn't sound very scientific does it ? Well anyway, I'm willing to help out if necessary (and if I'm still here at that time, my contract ends June 2010).

If anyone is interested in helping out, please let me know. So far we have people from The Netherlands, France and Germany interested in helping out, but it would be nice if more people from Gent could be involved.
