No, we don’t have a time and place picked out yet.  But yes, we have some interesting possibilities that could work out for this fall.

In response to our calls a few months ago for offers for a new host and site, we had several suggestions and many “thinking-out-loud” offers.  It was great to hear so much interest in making the conference happen.

A few proposals have come in and we are in the middle of conversations that might result in the U2 conference happening this September or October.  Or, maybe not.  No promises at this point, OK?

But we are mindful of the time and know summer looms.  We want to be especially sensitive to those who are on the program and we know it’s not practical to announce this summer that in a few short months we will have the conference.  Look for a progress report in mid-May.  If nothing seems to be working by then, it’s pretty safe to say that we will wait until the spring of 2010 to have the conference.

Thank you for your continued support and interest.

PS: If you know of a “point person” in a location you think the conference should be, tell them to contact us and get the ball rolling.
