Vancouver in June


We had Women in Logic 2019 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
There are some photos in FB's group Women in Logic.
It was a neck-breaking speedy trip, I was in Vancouver for one night only, but well worth it.
The meeting was smaller than the one in Oxford last year, as expected. FLoC does encourage lots of people to come, who wouldn't otherwise.

But the meeting was very productive with decisions taken, committees organized, bold plans for 2020. Also a general feeling that we can do this together and it will be just fine! Very grateful for that. I was worried about (not) missing my plane back home (I almost missed it going out), so didn't have much time to enjoy the brewery, but had plenty of good conversations over sushi at lunchtime.

  Another lesson learned is that for a short workshop is very important to plan the social events in advance.  It worked well for us, we found good restaurants close by, but it should've been announced earlier on. We almost missed Ana Sokolova!
But all's well that ends well, we were all seated for beer eventually.
