It feels a bit like winning the Rugby World Cup. While at the SFPE Conference in Hawaii, Martin Feeney, Christine Duncan and I met with the SFPE board and were able to satisfy them that New Zealand was up to being able to host the next international conference.
It will be a great opportunity to listen to some world class presentations from speakers around the world.
The linkedin post show the mockup 2020 splash screen and me welcoming the delegates to NZ.
Excellent work Mike, Martin and Christine.
I remember the last one here in 2008 and it was great for local engineers to be able to go when they may not have otherwise been able to afford it or get time off.
Wonder if there will be a facility in Christchurch able to host it then, as something different for the delegates from Auckland that did the last one.
Great news for NZ. It will be a great chance for those who are not as able to travel to attend an international conference. Well done to the three of you.
