The conference itself did stay a bit behind my expectations. The programme was huge with up to 10 tracks running in parallel. Given some of the presentations I have seen it might have been useful to apply some more rigorous selection criteria to submissions in order to have less quantity but more quality as some presenters clearly were very early days in their research. But of course criticising from the back bench is always easier than doing something yourself

All the same I had a great time meeting many interesting people researching in my area and the conference was organised brilliantly by Lisbeth Klastrup and her team from the IT University of Copenhagen which is located in a seriously nice building.

Last but not least Copenhagen is very nice too (if expensive) and I kind of met my namesake.
