Torino 16th -18th of june

[treebear]

Hi fellow arborists!
Do take advantage of the great opportunity of meeting up with the best climbers in Europe, a great conference, trade shgow and beautiful Italia in Torino, city of Trees, 16th - 18th of June.
I´m just back from the annual EAC meeting in Zagreb where I met and connected with Stefano and Felice, two great guys which currently are right in the middle of arranging this event on behalf of SIA. They have exiting times at present with millions of things on their minds, but they are so dedicated and full of energy (Italians you know). They are both good friends of Mark (C) and thus quality approved!!

I think you all recognize the tremendous amount of work it takes to arrange such an event. The least we can do is to take part in it. So come on guys, register!
Salute Felice and Stefano!!

Nice post Svein! They are two great guys. I would consider them (and a few others there) my Italian Brothers!

I'll see you there Svein!

Hope I can make it, not settled yet. With all the work the Italian guys are putting into this I´m gonna feel a bit bad if I can´t go.

The dates are a bit confusing (to me); Is it that the congress runs from the 16th to the 19th, but the trade fair and comp from the 19th to 22nd?

7 days is a long time away from work - tough choices would have to be made!

Events held on long weekends work better for me. We were kindly invited to present, but its school exam time.

I hope all goes well. Turin has an awesome alpine back drop.

Also on the friday before the comp there will be four workshops directed at climbers held in the course of the day.

I'm looking forwards to seeing everybody, the Italian possee seem like a pretty switched on bunch, I'm sure they're going to put on a bit of a scorcher!
