In response to a number of people enquiring where ICMI19 will be held, I’ve told them that no decision has been taken, but it will not be held in the UK. While the conferences are very important events in the MRM diary, they’re also demanding in terms of time and resources, and in eight weeks’ time we shall have hosted two of the four in the series. It’s time for others to step up to the plate.

It could be many years before ICMI returns to the UK. Indeed, it may never return, so your last chance of meeting legends such as Karen Straughan and Professor Janice Fiamengo and Steven Svoboda and Anil Kumar in the UK could be the July conference. If you’ve been wavering about whether or not to buy a ticket, I urge you to do so now – here.

Some time after the July conference, I shall start the process of seeking and evaluating bids to host ICMI19, in association with Paul Elam.
