Phoenix in Our Mirror
The 2009 Phoenix conference now belongs to history and early reports indicate that this was one of our more successful conferences. In addition to fascinating sessions, numerous workshops, a well-attended prize ceremony (see the latest prize winners) and an inviting book exhibit, the meeting's high point was the Saturday-night dinner at the Heard Museum, attended by some 400 delegates, a memorable event orchestrated by our Local Arrangements Committee (LAC). Our thanks to the LAC (link here to picture) for their help on so many fronts -- for stuffing packets, printing out name badges and receipts, assembling a boffo web site, and handling hundreds of other details. We also wish to thank Arizona State University for its generous support, as well as our other sponsors.
Preparations are already underway for Montreal (4-7 November), a joint meeting with the Philosophy of Science Association. We hope to see you there.
