Because of being on my ass moneywise at the moment the air fare completely demolished me this year. It upset me not to be able to attend because of that. Let's face it the cost of international air travel is only going up and fast. More regular smaller meetings at more diverse geographical locations are the way to go. Perhaps holding conferences on multiple concurrent sites with extensive videolinking. (Us Pd people should be *pioneering* this sort of thing) - a global community built from cellular (chapters) in a network. I was thinking of saying "No to Sao Paulo, yes to Barcelona" but then I heard, "what about South Americans who are probably *less* able to afford traveling to Europe than we are of travelling to S.America?" So the option to support is BOTH. At the same time.

I have been so jealous these last few days! I am so there next year.
There's no next year.
Oh, that's really sad. Seems like you guys did a really great job.
Well I guess there will be another Pd conference of some kind in the
future, right?Well, if someone gets really inspired and organized, there might be a
next year. There is already talk of having the next one in Sao Paulo
or Barcelona.I hope the next one will happen sooner rather than later. It was
really excellent to meet people I know from the list, but also to see
the art community in Montréal. It really was an interesting mix of
people and ideas..hc
Best,
Chris.
