Meet you at the BP18?

eleonorang

Csaba's recent article on The Open Mic gave me the idea for this topic: I'm going to the BP18 in Vienna in April and I thought it'd be nice to know if anyone else of us forum members is going. If anyone wants to know more about the conference or is still deciding whether to go, it might be a good chance to talk about it ?

eleonorang It's kinda became a tradition for me to miss out on major conferences due to work, family and immigration stuff, yet @bancsaba keeps inviting me ?

I hope you'll have a ton of fun, @eleonorang! Be sure to tweet up a storm with all the tip you'll learn, and of course, would love read your overview of the conference either on this forum or on The Open Mic (as a blog article).

Cheers!

I wish I could, but it's a bit difficult from the USA.
We want a complete report after you come back!

Anna, there will be quite a few people from the U.S. In fact, it's the fifth largest country represented at BP18 (after Germany, Austria, UK, and Italy).
I encourage everyone to check out the program, with an impressive lineup of speakers.

Don't hesitate for too long, as the conference starts in just over 3 weeks. bpconf.com

I would love to go but it's quite expensive for my budget. Don't you all want to lobby for the next one to be in Lisbon? There's lots of sun and a historical air bridge with the US...

There is also the IX ABRATES Conference in sun-kissed Rio de Janeiro from 15 to 17 June. The venue is across the street from the golden sands of Copacabana. I believe there are still places available: www.abrates.com.br.
The language medium is Portuguese but interpretation into English and/or Spanish is provided.
Plenty of flights from the US, and from important European cities.
See you in Rio!

What is the BP18? Is it always in Vienna?
I am thinking of taking my first international conference and would prefer ITI 2019 but don't know where it is going to be.The BP could be an interesting option too. When is the next one (and where)? 2020?

PaulWilliamDixon Hey Paul, BP18 was last week (19-20 April) and I'm pretty sure there's going to be a BP19 (and a BP20 for that matter ? ) but there are no plans as to the location yet
