Big thanks to all participants for taking part in the lectures, the workshops and all the attractions held during the 6th Academic IT Festival. We hope to have once again met your expectations and that all the elements we prepared for you this year kept a highly substantive level.
Then, we would like to thank our sponsors: Adobe, Clico, Microsoft, Motorola and Software Mind, for their support in the organization of the Festival. We certainly couldn't bring you such big an event without them.
We also thank, of course, all our speakers and workshops instructors, who each year form the core of the Festival.
Finally, we thank Cracow's universities for their support: the AGH University of Science and Technology, the Cracow University of Technology, the Cracow University of Economics and the Jagiellonian University . In particular, we thank the Cracow University of Economics and its employees for lending us the hall and all the technical equipment necessary for the organization of the Festival.
We can now officially consider this year's 6th Academic IT Festival as closed.
But! This, of course, is not the end.
Soon we will be publishing all kinds of information and content on this website. In the coming days will appear an extensive photo-textual relation of the entire festival. Our speakers presentation will also be made available. And, as soon as we process the audiovisual data, we will post recordings of all the lectures (except for the lecture of Mr Konieczny, who asked us not to).
We would also like to remind you our e-mail address, at which you can submit any suggestions and comments. These few days after the festival are usually a period in which most ideas and thoughts come up. We encourage you to write them down into an e-mail and send it to us at uwagi@sfi.org.pl . We read and answer to every e-mail
