academia and industry for a whole week. The attendees are both
engineers using Smalltalk in business and students and teachers
using Smalltalk both for research and didactic purposes.

As every year, this year's edition of the largest European Smalltalk
event will include the regular Smalltalk developers conference with
renowned invited speakers, a Smalltalk camp that proves fruitful for
interactions and discussions. Besides, this year will be held the

awarded to authors of best pieces of Smalltalk-related projects
and an international workshop on Smalltalk and dynamic languages (http://www.esug.org/Conferences/2009/InternationalWorkshop
