I’m thrilled to announce that AoIR 3.0 in Maastricht was truly international. Based on the demographics in the conference program, we had 357 attendees from 43 countries. I’m especially happy that I would not be able to locate two of these countries on the map, because it means that our association has grown beyond even my wildest imagination! I am also very excited that we have been able to draw a stronger representation from African countries. Way to go! Here are the stats.
