As you read this text, you may realize, that this website has a new design.

Yay! We hope you like it. There's less yellow and some blue highlights now. Also, we have a beautiful Berlin Skyline on top. But of course, this is only the surface of our website. The Content like news posts, ticket sale, contact and submission form is still at its place. If you have any questions check out the FAQ or feel free to contact us directly.

Also, there is still the opportunity for sponsors to support Berlin Buzzwords 2012. 

From now on, you can submit talks for the Berlin Buzzwords 2012. The event will comprise presentations on scalable data processing.
