Persuasive 2008 will be in Finland
We've counted the votes, and Finland has won the bid to host Persuasive 2008.
How did we decide this?
During Persuasive 2007 at Stanford University, the consensus was to hold Persuasive 2008 in Europe. Various organizations wanted to host the event, so we agreed that a democratic selection process would be best. Participants in Persuasive 2007 were invited to vote on proposals for Persuasive 2008.
The voting process and results were verified by myself (Stanford University), Rex Moody (Central Washington University), and Ian Bogost (Georgia Tech).
The results:
- Finland will be the location for Persuasive 2008.
- Our hosts will be Harri Oinas-Kukkonen, University of Oulu, & Per Hasle, University of Aalborg
I look forward to gathering with colleagues again, this time in the "land of the midnight sun"!
