I fly from Boston to Newark to Rome. Then a train to Ancona. Then a ferry to Split. I hope to hook up with Jeff Starin, also from the US on the ferry. We should arrive in Vis on Thursday morning and spend a day seeing Split before we take another ferry to the Isle of Vis on Friday.

The conference looks great. I encourage you to check out the link to see the agenda. They are asking us to keep the attendee list private but it looks awesome. An incredible diversity of countries. Below is the list.

I'll be posting what I learn here and I hope that people from the OACS community contact me if they see something interesting so I can facilitate networking.

I want to thank and acknowledge Al Essa of MIT Sloan for sponsoring my travel to this conference!
