It has already been suggested that the first two conference themes are very similar and may be difficult to discuss separately. Combining them into one would make for two main conference themes:

There is a double bind in everyone of us. We want to rely on the known while desiring change for the better.

I am curious if ideas for conversational topics that are embedded in comments to individual statements of interest will get central (organizer) attention as conference options.

Some participants have raised the question of whether they can supply video material to be screened during C:ADM2010. Despite the technical challenges involved in this we are keen to make this possible.

The management of EMPAC (our conference venue) will provide the possibility to run a video loop that contains all participant-supplied video material if [...]

I’m very much looking forward to the varied and (to me) unpredictable conversations I hope to have at C:ADM. I wonder if and how these will/should be structured. With topics or interesting threads arising spontaneously, should we provide any structure at all? How are we going to share conversations between larger numbers of participants? I [...]
