✦ Synopsis

There is something very particular and unique about the ISSHAC conference. And, I have an impression that most of the participants think in the same way. When the first time I heard about the conference some years ago, it was during another interesting meeting but everybody was talking about ISSHAC. One could feel that all of them wanted to go there because it was different and appealing at the same time. When I said that I was not going there was a strange look, as if they did not believe me. Now I know why. Now I do the same to anybody who says that he/she is not going. And I do not even try to explain why one needs to go to understand the very special atmosphere of ISSHAC and then he or she will learn why the participants are coming back and wait for the next one.
