Do you have wonderful suggestions for Picnic09? We will soon start to prepare the 4th PICNIC, which will take place in Amsterdam from 23 to 25 September 2009. Or do you want to contribute to a special one day PICNIC event in New York in the spring of 2009? Do not hesitate to contact me!

I am PICNIC's Program Director. I put together both the PICNIC Conference as well as the PICNIC Specials and the PICNIC Labs. Together with a network of advisers I research themes, find speakers, develop interesting formats, and try to make PICNIC as inspiring and relevant as possible.

It's a wonderful job - I get to talk and correspond with some very smart and friendly people on the cutting edge of media, art and science.

PICNIC is not all I do: I also do work for a Dutch organisation called the iMMovator Cross Media Network putting together events on new media developments relevant for the broadcasting industry. Recently I have also been a workshop host for the Stifo/Sandberg workshops, bringing together film makers and artists to develop new concepts.

I am on the board of two organisations, the Gridforum Association Netherlands, as well as the Dutch public broadcaster NPS, and I am member of the Jury for the Swift Awards and the NL Awards. .

Having said all that, PICNIC is my favourite event of all times, and I am honoured that I get to work on it. Between February and September, it's almost all I do.

Previously, I founded and ran Van Dusseldorp & Partners, a company specialised in European new media events and research, and I co-founded the Europemedia news service. We wrote reports and newsletters and organised conferences on new developments. Plus I was on other boards and in other juries. I also served on two Dutch government committees (Commissie Docters van Leeuwen, Commissie Risseeuw) on ICT and media policies. Van Dusseldorp & Partners closed in 2003 and I have worked as a freelancer since.

I started my working life at the European Institute for the Media (Germany), where I worked as Director of Communications, and later on worked for a Dutch publisher in the new media department. Before that I graduated from art school as well as university: Akademie voor Beeldende Vorming Tilburg, Katholieke Universiteit Brabant and for one semester in 1990, Boston University. I have degrees in Comparative Literature and in Fine Arts.
