http://www.nluug.nl/events/nj09/index.html "The NLUUG fall conference (expect around 280 attendees in Ede, the Netherlands) is on the Open Web this time around; if you’re working on web standards, web tools, interoperability or anything else covered by the call for abstracts (PDF, 817k, low information density), do drop the programme committee a note (and an abstract of around 200 words). Even policy wonks can have their say there. Deadline for submissions is the end of this month."
