The Symposium in Barcelona is one ADDED to the normal every other year schedule. There was great debate about adding this Symposium, siting one of the normal biannual symposia in Europe, and or waiting 3 years between U.S. symposium.

The final decision was to have a Symposium in Europe, now sited in Barcelona, in early 2008 and maintain the normal schedule of a U.S. symposium in early 2009. The 2009 Symposium will once again be in Reno.

I will be there. I am giving a seminar on Wingsuits and Wingsuit safety for both the jumper and DZSO/S&TAs and their European equivalents.

They haven't released the seminar schedule yet so I don't know when it will be. I opted to give it more than once if need be so chances are I will be giving it at least twice ,spread out over the days symposium runs.

Evidently I am the first speaker of the Symposium on day 1 from 8:00 -10:00 in classroom 1 and there are a lot of speakers this time so I will only be giving the seminar once. Thats all the info I have as of right now.

It's so easy to make things clicky.
Some nice pictures there.
BTW, 90percent is an Italian magazine (although it also has some articles in English.)
