Welcome to the Synergy Barcelona community site.

This site originated as a way for the community to find the best way to attend, stay and enjoy the Synergy and PubForum conferences in Berlin in 2010.

The conferences may have come and gone, but we certainly haven’t. There are lots more exciting conferences on the horizon including Synergy Barcelona and PubForum London.

As always, we’re looking for “local knowledge” bloggers and savvy travellers who can share the best places to stay, the best bars and restaurants and also places to avoid!

Please contact us if you would like to join the site, or just comment on one of the existing posts.
