With the help of cutting edge interactive installations and internationally acclaimed speakers, ThoughtMade aspires to become a meeting place for innovators of all creeds in the Öresund region. ThoughtMade is inspired by Mindshare LA, a Los Angeles innovation party of similar format that has won great acclaim. Inspiration also comes from the MAKE-movement, expected to lead the next great wave of innovation in the US.

Among the speakers is Chris Hughes, MAKE-movement evangelizer and iPhone hacker currently involved at Syyn Labs, who will hold one of three short inspirational talks. To spark discussion and ideas, cutting edge-innovations such as the RepRap 3d printer and awe-inspiring interactive installations will be an integral part of the evening. Entrance to the event is free of charge, but to retain an intimate environment the number of tickets is limited to 300.
