Hi all,

For me, Autonomy in Language Education seems to incorporate more relevant 
issues.

The low turnout may also be connected to the increasingly busy ELT calendar, 
especially in Tokyo. Oct/Nov used to be 'conference' season when I joined JALT 
in 2005. In the past few years, however, it seems that May/June and even July 
have become a conference season, too!

Actually, I thought the regular time slot and 3 hours was fine, especially given 
that it takes me over an hour to get there and I'm not really a fan of spending 
more time commuting than being somewhere.

I like the idea of "More opportunities for presentations at meetings. Trial  
presentations before conferences on research/teaching ideas.-- Break the  
meeting into different interest sections. -- Seek a balance between  exploring 
practices and research."

As for the rest, ditto what Colin said. Good idea to have a one day conference, 
find a nice venue and place for dinner: Pink Cow food it always good, but 
depending on where we are, Cardenas Chinois is awesome, too:

Cheers,
