PCC / VIENNA ’24
As many of you are aware, an in person meeting of OISTAT’s Publication and Communication Commission is long overdue.  It was suggested that to accommodate as many people as possible a location and event near many of our largest collection of colleagues might be best. After some consultation, calendar considerations and events to work around, it was decided that the MEET festival in Vienna, Austria would be best.  The MEET2024  event takes place on November 6th and 7th.  MEET2024 - (Click on Link) I would like to extend my thanks to Larry Busch and OETHG for offering us the opportunity to work with them on organizing this gathering. Topics for discussion include but are not limited to planning participation at World Stage Design 2025 in Sharjah, UAE, development of in-process writing projects including articles and books, future planning for the PCC beyond 2025 and ways to continue t embrace the changing landscape of publication and communication in the digital age. This event is not possible for one person to organize.  To have your input and participation to make this a success is essential. Any and all assistance is welcome.  There will be more updates to follow as the event gets closer. Until then, I can always be reached via my email / basecamp.
