Arrived in Frankfurt yesterday noon. Then in Bonn yesterday night. I will be blogging and sharing pictures and videos from the conference whenever I can.

The Forum has just started now in the plenary hall of the former German parliament building in Bonn. The head of Deutsche Welle is now welcoming the participants including the Nobel Prize winner, the Iranian activist Shirin Ebadi who will be giving a keynote speech shortly.

There is Wifi access in the plenary hall, but its quite slow. But at least it works

A livestream for the conference is available here.
