I don’t know much about Aarhus. Didn’t know anything until it was announced as the next venue at the conclusion of RTC Europe in Porto. I won some free accommodation in a not-very-serious quiz at the end of the Building Content Summit (if they remember) which has enticed me into submitting a couple of abstracts. More to the point, I really enjoyed the atmosphere at my first European version of the event and made some good friends. No longer RTC of course, this will be the first BiLT Europe, rebranding to reflect a broadening audience, with a somewhat improved logo.
Arhus means “River Mouth” apparently and the town has Viking origins. Turns out to be Denmark’s second largest city, with Scandinavia’s largest University and a massive container port. I’m looking forward to drinking in some Scandinavian atmosphere, assuming it works out. Perhaps I will manage a day or two in Copenhagen also, some buildings there I would love to see. And of course every culture has its own quirks…
