Do you remember?

Were you there when a true superstar of the internet Jimmy Wales visited Aarhus as one of Internet Week Denmarks keynotes at the Official Opening? We take a look at last years Official Opening as a warmup for the forthcoming reveal of the opening keynotes for this years festival.

The official opening of 2014

Last year we were honored to welcome the co-founder and promoter of the online non-profit encyclopedia Wikipedia. Jimmy Wales explained the challenges of Wikipedia and took the audience behind the curtains of one of the biggest, and most active databases of human knowledge.

Jimmy Wales: Our quality is similar to or better than Britannica (which was never as good as people thought). #iwdk

Besides Getting Starstruck by Jimmy Wales the Audience Got Inspired by

- Mayor of Aarhus, Jacob Bundsgaard

- Ashok Krish, Head of Innovation Lab, Tata Consultancy Services

- Steffen Grarup, Senior Manager, Uber.com

- Morten Heuing, CEO, eBay Danmark
