�Camp Smalltalk 8 September 2013
�----------------------------------------------------------------------
�For the past 21 years, the European Smalltalk User Group (ESUG) has
�organised the International Smalltalk Conference, a lively forum on
�cutting edge software technologies that attract people from both
�academia and industry for a whole week. The attendees are both
�engineers using Smalltalk in business and students and teachers
�using Smalltalk both for research and didactic purposes.
�As every year, this year's edition of the largest European Smalltalk
�event will include the regular Smalltalk developers conference with
�renowned invited speakers, a Smalltalk camp that proves fruitful for
�interactions and discussions. This year will be held the
�9th edition of the Innovation Technology Awards where prizes will be
�awarded to authors of best pieces of Smalltalk-related projects
�and an international workshop on Smalltalk and dynamic languages
