I met Raymond from Netherlands last week in Paris and we spoke about next conference, maybe in Paris ? Frederique (french partner who leaves in Germany), Raymond and me maybe would like to start organization in 2010 in Paris.
Problems we have to solve : more volonteers to organise and do promotion, languages in the conference, intervention.
Raymond have an experience in Japan as organiser.

Hi Greg, welcome to the network. Hope you find useful resources here - there are several of us with the kind of experience you are looking for. Let me know if you are coming to UK - or the Portland conference. Cheers, Paul Z
