A thought from a JuryMember
Tx for having me, my wife and I had a great time. I havenot experienced that enthusiasm other than in SiliconValley, it really made me feel good. You know that I am
the curator of TEDxBrussels and Founder Institute (andco-organizer of the new one, Quantified Self); let's all putour force together and create a 'dark horse' (Brussels)that competes with San Francisco and New York!
Perfect job, congratulations (I know these things do nothappen like just like that, it needs crazy people like weare)
