Thanks to all who participated in IR11. It was, as usual, another excellent AoIR conference. But even though I write "as usual" it should not be taken for granted that an enormous amount of work goes into it, and that every conference has had a different character to it, another thing that greatly distinguishes it from so many other conferences. The conference organizers, led by Ann-Sofie Axelsson and Ylva Hård af Segerstad, the program chair, Torill Mortensson, and all of the other volunteers who made it possible deserve enormous credit and thanks for their work. I also want to take a moment to thank the AoIR executive committee for its continued leadership and guidance of the association. As AoIR approaches its "teen years" (NB: I don't want to take that metaphor any further) it will likely continue to experience growing pains, and it is good to know that it will continue to be in good hands. I'll look forward to seeing many of you in Seattle, and, I hope, sooner. Steve Jones
I second this, it was an excellent conference, I just wish I could have met more of the people I didn't know, not that they wanted to meet me and chat I also think we need to extend thanks to Mathias Klang, who put out a few fires and helped out immensely in a myriad of ways and to the 'green shirts', the students and staff that stepped forward and worked to make the conference a success. I look forward to next year, I am told that the exec will be performing a song and dance review and Michael might wear tails and a top hat.
