I have organized various unconferences and helped with large (1000+) person technology conferences and can speak on that topic. I also ran a Wiki Wednesday monthly meeting which ran in multiple cities for over a year.
I've spoken at BlogHer, SXSWi, various BarCamps, wiki meetups, and various SF and literary conferences.
A trained pharmacist, I'm a technology geek since my youth, now mainly interested in issues regarding Free Software. I give a helping hand at the FSFE booth during European events since 2001 and I am part of the Ubuntu Swiss Team, the Ubuntu Women Team, the Amarok Team and promote Free Software wherever I can. Currently I use Kubuntu 8.04.1 with KDE 4.
I like to share knowledge, which is why I am not limited just to speaking, but also am interested in workshops / expert tables and moderation. Additionally I have become a frequent advisor for organizers of conferences as well as am involved in several barcamps.
One of my favourite topics is how to grow your business internationally, both from the side of for example the US coming to Europe as vice versa, but I am also happy to 'just' transport what is so special about the net and web 2.0.
