During the conference, a team of volunteers browsed the sessions. This so-called Browser Brigade noted the remarkable things happening, passed on the quotes of speakers that should be communicated to a wider audience, found out whether there is some consensus about possible recommendations or only dissent and gave an impression of what makes the participants enthusiastic or what causes disillusion.

The reports of the Browser Brigadeers were published on posters that serve as a kind of conference bulletin.
