At the picnic conference last week in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Nico Luchsinger and Antoine Verdon told me about their idea to set up an own conference which is focusing especially on young talents under 30. The first event will take place in 2009 in Zürich and will have INNOVATION as central theme. If you want to know more about the sandbox conference and what there will be different compared to other conferences and barcamps, just have a look on the video. The two ambitious co-founders of the sandbox-network are themselves still very young, both 25.
