The challenge of a conference of this size (more than 2,000 registered delegates) is that sessions run concurrently. Which means you are running from room to room to keep up.
I have a gazillion questions for you K...
ReplyDeleteBut first off--I love the "cover" photo for this blog!!
This may sound kind of dumb, but are these traditional costumes people are wearing because they are representing their culture at this conference?
Or is there kind of a rennaisence of traditional clothes as cool...the way Inuit kids in Rankin and Arviat sport their kamiks and homemade parkas with their hot jeans?
Hope you're well.
Jo
The conference looks amazing so far!
Innaresting, is the IPY focussed on fashion or climate change? Seriously, what are the range of topics addressed in IPY and if the theme for the next one is IHUGE, what was the recent IPY theme? Look forward to hearing more from you about the conference. Cheers
