I only realized now that I have not yet blogged about this conference. I’m super excited for it to start. It’s started. I’m here.

The ANSER conference involves panels of about 200 leading researchers on such themes as:

Also, a little bird told me (literally – I just found out via Twitter) that Montreal will be the host for “Le Forum international en économie sociale et solidaire”. Montréal 17 au 20 oct 2011. Great news – but 2011 is so far away. I guess we’ll have lots of time to let people know about Ajah between now and then.
