I must say I’m honored to be chosen as the keynote speaker at the British Esperanto Conference<\/a> in Sheffield, England this year! While I’ve been to my share of interesting and boring Esperanto meetings in England, I’m really excited about this one, because one of the organizers is a good friend of mine, Tim Owen… and when he organizes something, he doesn’t fool around!<\/p>\n

You can expect an interesting program with some great speakers like Renato Corsetti (former president of UEA<\/a>), Anna Lowenstein (author), Paul Gubbins (editor of Monato<\/a>), among others. The program isn’t public yet, but I can at least give you a sneak peak at my lecture topics:<\/p>\n

Urba Semajnfino: Esperanto-evento por nordamerikanoj<\/h3>\n

Ser\u0109ante manieron apliki la sukcesojn de la e\u016dropa Eo-movado, mi
\nprovis adapti al la kondi\u0109oj de usonaj esperantistoj. La Urba
\nSemajnfino estas evento, kiun \u0109iu povas organizi en ajna nordamerika urbo.<\/em><\/p>\n

Looking for a way to apply the success of the European Esperanto movement, I tried to adapt to the conditions of American Esperanto speakers. The Urba Semajnfino is an event, which anyone can organize in any North American city. You can read more about a Fun Esperanto Weekend in Harrisburg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Afterparties<\/h3>\n

Afterwards, we are joining the traditional group meal, this time at Platillos<\/a>, a tapas bar nearby. There will also be a one-day postkongreso to a stately home called Brodsworth Hall, which to my American eyes just looks incredible!<\/p>\n

So, I hope you’ll choose to join us for a splendid time in Sheffield… and I look forward to meeting you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
