As conference Chair, I would like to personally thank all who had an part in contributing to the success of this conference. It far exceed all our expectations and would not have been the success it was without the efforts of the organizers and their staff, the sponsors, the speakers, the poster board presenters, the hosts, and finally the 125 people who showed up to bring the conference to life.
We have prepared a video of the entire conference for those of you who were there to review and enjoy and for those of you who were not there to also share in the wonderful experience we had in Bologna. We hope you will continue to enjoy the conference in all or part until the next conference convenes and continues the discussions started in Bologna. We also hope some of the talks will be suitable to be used in your classroom or assigned to students as part of class discussions.
There is also an opportunity to be part of the ongoing effort to create an association, plan for the next conference, as well as work on a mission statement for the association and a definition of terms both to be voted on by the delegates to the next conference. Anyone who wishes to join in this effort needs only to contact the organizers at this web site. Thank you again for visiting our site and enjoy the videos of the conference.
Sincerely
Bob Quinn,
Conference Chair
