We talked about this recently. Our current feeling is that although the 2012 and 2014 conferences were very worthwhile, that doing another similar one in 2016 would be less so.
A conference is a lot of work, costs you quite a bit (travel/hotel/fee/etc), and at best is break even for Jsoftware. There needs to be a lot of benefit for that to be worthwhile. I think it likely we will do a conference in 2017, but in a very different format and not in Toronto. As always, we'll listen to your input. If there is a clamor (and a commitment to attend) from enough people. we could still pull one off for next summer. Perhaps a better use of a fraction of what attending a 2016 conference would cost, would be to make a donation to Jsoftware to help us continue community and product development. /Eric On Wed, Nov 25, 2015 at 9:34 AM, Lippu Esa <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all, > > Does anybody know if there are any plans and/or dates for a J Conference in > July 2016? > > Esa > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
