AWEC2021 SeaTac Conference- Request for support
  • Dear AWEurope,

    AWEC conferences began in the US (HAWPcon09, AWEC2010), with vital EU participation. Early conferences rotated between EU and US, but its been many years since a US conference, as EU insiders quietly decided not to rotate AWEC conferences globally, on various pretexts.

    Tremendous pent-up energy exists to once again have a US AWEC conference. For five years, the Seattle-Tacoma Boeing Museum of Flight has been lined up for such a conference. Recent polling of US players is consistently eager. The nearby University of Washington has expressed positive hosting interest, with AWE R&D underway. Count on the University of British Columbia as well, and figures like Chief Gordon Planes of the T'Sou'ke Nation, who attended an EU AWEC. The list of willing North American players is too long to list here.

    Aympyx nevertheless seems to be trying on Twitter for a second Irish AWE Conference in 2021, after WESC AWE 2019 in Cork. Milan is rumored as another EU AWEC option. Italy has never been allowed a conference by the VC insiders who made AWEC a Northern EU monopoly. Monopolized AWECs are a serious academic integrity and business fairness issue, ultimately a liability for those responsible.

    A SeaTac event positions unified AWE R&D at mid-cap level to tap into BEV fund billions. Support for SeaTac is best for EU, rather than divide the AWE world further into possibly competing conferences, and continued fragmented R&D. Academic AWE is best served by rotating events that students all over can afford to attend, as they come around. AWEurope is hereby requested to embrace an AWEC2021SeaTac, or at least an Italian event, to break the VC stalemate of only Northern EU conferences.

    Thank You, AWEurope, for not imposing another Irish AWE event so soon, in favor of once again having AWECs rotate around the world. Embrace the future of AWE conferences soon in Asia and anywhere else that R&D becomes active. SeaTac is ideal for AWEC2021, for the good of our emergent industry. Please help make AWEC2021 SeaTac a spectacular success for all the AWE world. A red carpet will be rolled out for the fine EU players.

    Best,
