The Susssex Conference was a great success, and I again want to thank all those of you who made it happen: Kate O'Riordan, Conference Coordinator Sheizaf Rafaeli, Program Chair All of the reviewers! All of the fantastic on site volunteers! We needed all of you and appreciate the labor you gave to make this event come off so well. And thanks, not least of all, to all those who came. Your good spirits, interesting ideas, and enthusiasm for engaging one another in productive discussion demonstrated all the things we hope AoIR conferences can be. Now get some sleep. If you weren't able to come this year, we hope you'll join us next year in Chicago, where we'll gather in mid-October around the theme "Internet Generations."
