RSD13 has ended.

It was a 14 days long series of events one following and interweaving with the other, and each very pleasant and successful. All the participants I talked to were very happy. There was only one comment from one of my colleagues that there were a number of contributions that were not directly systemic. This is probably a result of the inclusive policy SDA has. Anyway, it is an interesting point to discuss.

Many new faces and rejoining with old friends. Over half of the real-life conference attendees at AHO were newcomers. Over 1000 registered overall, and 90% followed online sessions in real-time.

The editorial work for the proceedings has started, and more info will surely flow your way if you have registered for the SDA newsletter at https://systemic-design.org/ 

Hope to see you all in Toronto next fall!
