The Group Decision and Negotiation conference 2010 was held at the faculty of Technology, Policy and Management of the Delft University of Technology. It was a three day conference about different aspects of group decision and negotiations.
Of course tracks about collaboration engineering and tools in group decision making was of special interest to me. There has been a study in using a GSS-tool in the process of supplier selection that was quite intriguing and got me thinking of using TeamSupport for similar a tasks. Luckily I met the creator and developer of this tool and had a great talk with him, further exploration might be needed and he was nice enough to help us in doing so, thanks Onur!
Besides the tracks about technologies and tools being used, but also tracks on tactics in a negotiation process and research findings these were really interesting. For example the fact that culture and background plays a very significant role and gives away a lot of information about how you will enter a negotiation process was really fascinating.
Prof. Paul Meerts of the Clingendael institute provided the keynote on day 3; the story telling fashion of his talk was intriguing, I wished our history teacher was more like that 
All in all it has been a great conference where I again met interesting new people that can help us on our road.
