SpaceUpAs I leave for the IAC 2014 tomorrow, Australia is launching its bid to host it for 2017. I quite fancy a trip to Adelaide in a few years!

From the SpaceUp Australia website:

SpaceUp is a space-related unconference where the attendants decide the topics to be discussed and are able to lead their own sessions. There have been more than thirty SpaceUps in several locations worldwide and now it is time for Australia to host one. The unconference will take place on Sunday, 28th of September 2014, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, at the Flinders University Victoria Square Campus, in Adelaide.
