   For the past 21 years, the European Smalltalk User Group (ESUG) has
   organised the International Smalltalk Conference, a lively forum on
   cutting edge software technologies that attract people from both
   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. This year will be held the
   9th edition of the Innovation Technology Awards where prizes will be
   awarded to authors of best pieces of Smalltalk-related projects
   and an international workshop on Smalltalk and dynamic languages
   (http://www.esug.org/Conferences/2013/InternationalWorkshop)
