Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the Advisory Board, we would like to inform you of the:

SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TECHNOLOGY, KNOWLEDGE AND SOCIETY
Freie Universit?t Berlin, Germany
15-17 January 2010 
http://www.Technology-Conference.com

This Sixth International Conference on Technology, Knowledge and Society
examines a range of critically important themes in the various fields that
address the complex and subtle relationships between technology, knowledge
and society. The Conference is cross-disciplinary in scope, a meeting point
for technologists with a concern for the social and for social scientists
with a concern for the technological. The focus is primarily, but not
exclusively, on information and communications technologies.

The Technology Conference is held annually in different locations around the
world. The Conference was inaugurated in February 2005 at the University of
California, Berkeley, USA. It was held in Hyderabad, India in December 2005;
Cambridge University, Cambridge, UK in 2007; Northeastern University,
Boston, USA in 2008 and in Huntsville, USA in 2009. We are pleased to hold
this year's Conference at the Freie Universit?t Berlin, Germany. In 2011,
the conference will be held in Bilbao, Spain.

The 2010 Conference features the following Plenary Speakers:
* Christine Hine, University of Surrey, Surrey, UK
* Karim Gherab Martin, Harvard University, Cambridge, USA
* Alfred Nordmann, Technische Universit?t Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany
For more information on these Speakers, please visit the Conference website:

In addition to Plenary Presentations, the Conference includes Parallel
Presentations by practitioners, teachers and researchers. We invite you to
respond to the Conference Call-for-Papers. Presenters submit their written
papers for publication in the refereed International Journal of Technology,
Knowledge and Society. If you are unable to attend the Conference in person,
virtual registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper
for refereeing and possible publication in the Journal.

The deadline for the next round in the call for papers (a title and short
abstract) is 24 December 2009. Future deadlines will be announced on the
Conference website after this date. Proposals are reviewed within two weeks
of submission. Full details of the Conference, including an online proposal
submission form, may be found at the Conference website -

In 2011, the Technology Conference will be held 25-27 March at the
University of the Basque Country, Bilbao, Spain. Bilbao is the historic
capital of the Biscay province and is an important economic and cultural
center. The city is perhaps best know internationally for its critically
acclaimed Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Gehry. For more details on
the 2011 Conference, please visit the Conference website:

We look forward to receiving your proposal and hope you will be able to join
us in Berlin, Germany in January 2010.
