The 2nd International Workshop on Electronic Voting 2006 is history. A lot of work but also a lot of fun is lying behind us and we are very happy that all participants enjoyed the conference and everything went fine. 85 participants discussed 3 days the important topics around e-voting and built the foundations of our community:
The conference in pictures:
First the registration started,
then the informal part began with the welcome cocktail.
On wednesday the official programme started with the keynote by Prof. Kim,
or Laurence Monnoyer's presentation on voting rituals,
that started discussions in the coffee break.
In the evening we listened to the introduction by Marcella Künzler on the traditional Vorarlberg dinner "the cheese road" and then enjoyed it.
The next day presentations went on,
and even the best paper presenters,
and the rest listened carefully,
to the presentations and raised many questions like from Kare Vollan,
or from Nadja Braun.
Then at the conference dinner we had another possibility to form our e-voting community,
and praised to the weather god so we could attend the Bregenz festival play "Troubadour" on the lake, successfully by the way!
On the final day we listened to more presentations and talked informally in the computer room
and had a look at the voting machines from Smartmatic.
All of this wouldn't have been possible without the help of the team of Castle Hofen, most notable Marcella Künzler and Alexandra Stelzhammer,
the camera team of MonitorTV.at and their boss Thomas Ebner
and of course last but not least the E-Voting.CC team!
