In addition to the program committee there are several volunteers and people from newthinking involved in having Berlin Buzzwords run as smooth as it does. Also this conference would not be as cool as it is without the help of a large number of volunteers setting up complimentary events, helping with session moderation, accreditation and conference setup.
