We're pleased to announce that the 2010 German Conference Highlights book is now available for download!

This beautiful 60-page book offers a retrospective look back at all of the events from the 2010 conference in the form of essays by conference organizers, speakers and participants, all accompanied by dozens of full-color photos. We hope that this book offers additional insights into the events of the conference, sparks fond memories, and, of course, inspires you to attend in 2011.
