Schedule and workshops
The provisional schedule for the conference is now online, and we have a page describing the workshops and other activities. You may notice one or two slight differences in the schedule from previous years. The most important to note is that we found out that a significant number of people would prefer a slower end to the conference rather than rush for the bus at 11:15am. Don’t worry - the bus-rush will still be available for those who need to get home, but we hope to have a second option for those who do not wish to leave right away, of staying on for lunch at Amagi Sanso. Lunch will be followed by a quiet Japanese tea ceremony offering by Maya Nagaoka from West Tokyo Union Church. We expect that the later bus will depart Amagi Sanso around 14:15 (in time to catch the later express to the Tokyo region). It is not a commitment but it will help us greatly if, after you register, you would indicate which departure option you will most likely take when our treasurer Sarah Oba emails you to ask.
We are very much looking forward to seeing you all at Amagi Sanso in January and to you all contributing your own stories to the conference. We are very grateful for all the support and offers of help that so many of you have already given us this year.
By the way - I put the “herstory” of the conference on the website too.
Best Wishes,
