I would so like this to happen, even if I'm not there. It will be hard convincing my parents to go. I may be able to go though. This would be so cooooooooool! :)

As for getting sponsors, I don't know how to do that either.... :(

Wow, this sounds like a cool event :) I'd love to go, though living in Norway, making my way out there seems sort of out of sight :/ Being a student and all you can only afford so and so much. But i do wish everyone else who get's to go there a great great time, and lots of fun C--:

Making your way to where?
To the theoretical Wrong Planet conference, in Los Angeles? (which will not happen in the foreseeable future...)
Or to the very real Autreat, in Pennsylvania? (5-9 August, 2013)
Or to the very real Autscape, in England? (6-9 August, 2013)

This would be AWESOME!! ! An excellent idea! :)
I think we are a "bunch" of people now waiting for more information like date and place :)

BTW is there anyone here knowing if this project will become concrete soon?
Can we give to Alex a hand? How?

From what i first read it seemed like it was to be in L.A only, but that was just the first post about this - so it seems like there have been some changes then, according to what you just wrote. Since it's to be set in England chances that i might be able to go are slightly higher :) Good to know - thnx for sharing info.

Stick my neck out here and say place should be very secondary to the idea, which is brilliant - Alex, pick a hotel and we can all sell various organs to get there :twisted: I would, willingly!

A date for the Official International Wrong Planet Conference / Festival?
Not yet. I'm not expecting it to happen in the near future.
However, there are two other conferences/retreats which are also organised by Aspies/Autistics:
Autreat, in Pennsylvania, will be taking place next month (5-9 August), near Pittsburgh:

Autscape, in England, will also be taking place next month (6-9 August), near Leeds:

Anyone who would want to start up a business in the recession we've got is stupid as most people including centres don't even have the backing to support their own funds.

I am thinking that people ought to be aware of the 'stable' if not early picture of life as it is because no amount of human ambition is gonna solve one persons case studies or dilemmas

Hold a meeting where everyone can be aware of their own potential and not just nimble ideals to fill the time.

We started a business 2 yrs ago and it's thriving. We have no debt and have turned small profits both years, with sales increasing by about 30% each year. Many businesses are thriving right now. Be aware of shadows, but walk in the light...

If we can make it in Colorado I would LOVE to be a part of helping to put together an autistic festival. I am detail oriented, love planning and am a great cook.

Also, if I could get some type of official WP identification, I am excellent at getting donations [i n merchandise] from stores and restaurants. So, alex, Ken? Let's get this going!

Do you think we could get the shriners to help with airfare? Also, I was wondering if we could get the lions club, jaycees, etc to sponsor in some way. And Alex, humble man that you are, are you aware that you have the connections to get the word out BIGTIME.
