Once upon a Picnic
Imagine it's Saturday, 25 September. You have spent the past three days at PICNIC. What happened before those three days? You don't really remember. Both sides of your brain have simply been reformatted. You've seen things you’ve never seen before and done things you never did before or even considered possible. You've met new people and made new plans. Plans you would have previously never considered yourself to be a part of. You feel energized, revitalized and recharged for the coming year. It was the best event ever, like no other. It was PICNIC Festival 2010.
Sounds great? I think so too. Help us make it happen. Share your ideas, suggestions or plans for PICNIC Festival 2010 here. Please give us your comments on anything and everything: topics, speakers, workshops, decor, smart technology, ways of connecting people, flash mobs, art, music, food, installations, costumes, sponsors, partners or collaborations. Any feedback that helps make the above come true. Thanks!

Since I’ve been appointed as creative director for Picnic, a lot of people have shared their ideas and plans with me. And that’s great! This page makes it a bit easier :)
Thanks!

Decor
Picnic is not an ordinary place. Besides the great talks, workshops and people, we like to bring you into the world of Picnic. Decor helps creating this rich experience. Do you have suggestions on how we can make the decor more functional? More sustainable? More alive? More attractive?
Submit your ideaSmart technology
A big part of Picnic is about technology. Any ideas on how to incorporate smart new technology into the festival, so you will have a richer experience? AR? RFID? Lighting? Screens? Vizoo 3D holographic projections? 4K video? And how would you use it and for what?
Submit your ideaWays of connecting people
At Picnic we would like to facilitate true connections between people. We like to enrich people that already know each other with fresh inspiration for new ideas. And we like to match people that previously never met before, so great new projects and ideas and friendships might come from it. How can technology help us in this? Can you think of a format for this?
Submit your ideaFlash mobs
Picnic is a festival. There's a program. With inspirational talks that wow you. With workshops that help you realize your ideas. But what makes Picnic lively and rich is that you never know what happens next. Do you have ideas that will put a smile on the face of your fellow participants? Or will make them join in to act or make them think? Off-program?
Submit your ideaArt
Picnic is a rich and layered festival. Besides listening to beautiful stories we also like to invite you to make up your own story by art. Which artists do you think of? What kind of art would you like to see?
Submit your ideaFood
What would you like to eat? We believe in great food, presented in a surprising and creative way with the best ingredients. If you feed your brain with great inspiration you should also feed yourself with the best food. Suggestions?
Submit your ideaInstallations
Do you know of great installations that can help contribute to a true festival terrain? That can interact with the audience in an active way? That can help making people meet? To help people feel at ease or totally uncomfortable to people start making conversation?
Submit your ideaCostumes
It's a festival. So it should be festive, right? How should the crew be dressed? How should you be dressed?
Submit your ideaSponsors
Are you or do you know companies or organizations that want to support Picnic to help create the future together?
Submit your ideaPartners and collaborations
