[Air-l] AIR in Vancouver in 2007?

[Miraj Khaled]

that's a great idea! it would be really fantastic if
AOIR 2007 is held in beautiful vancouver. as the last
canadian venue of AOIR was in toronto, hopefully in
2007 AOIRers would be able to enjoy the best weather
in canada and appreciate the wonderful resources
[academic, cultural and natural] vancouver could
offer.

Dear fellow AIR members,

As a break from the current discussions on teens and
IM and SMS and all that, I have a question. Want to
come to Vancouver in 2007?

I had a wonderful time at the AIR conference in
Chicago last fall, and I am looking forward to
Brisbane this fall (spring there, I guess). A few
years ago I was at the Maastricht and Toronto AIR
conferences and enjoyed those, as well. All of which
is a preface to my seeming madness at what I am about
to propose - hosting the next, next AIR (2007) in
Vancouver, Canada. I think it is time to give
something back.

I haven't done a formal proposal yet, and only spoken
about it to a few people here in Vancouver, so if
others are thinking similarly and are further along,
let me know and I can tag along. If others think this
is a good idea and would like to help out - please
contact me  
directly (smith at sfu.ca). If you think this is a bad
idea and I should NOT pursue it, I'd certainly like to
hear about that, too!

I will be approaching the executive in the next week
or so, with a few cost estimates and suggestions for
venues. I think we can have a fun, interesting, and
exciting conference here in Vancouver, and I look
forward to showing you our lovely home. In the mean
time, feedback is most welcome.
