Looking back at Paleofestival and EXARC's Annual General Meeting

EXARC’s annual meeting was in Italy this year, at the 13th Paleofestival in La Spezia. We had about 25 EXARC members present, in a field with 50 demonstrators on both days. It was a sunny weekend with plenty of visitors and enough time to chat too. EXARC wants to thank everybody who was present, but especially the organisers, Donatella Alessi & Edoardo Ratti.

There were 71 actors and 47 different events in the two days. Also, there was a lecture program with 11 presentations, 50/50 in Italian and English. Both days together, we saw over 1,500 visitors. 

At the Annual General Meeting in La Spezia, a few changes were made to the EXARC Board. We said good-bye to Javier Baena from Madrid, who served as EXARC Secretary. Pascale Barnes was re-elected for a period of three years, and so was Milica Tapavički-Ilić. Linda Hurcombe from the University of Exeter has also joined the Board.
