Are they planning on holding a second one this summer? I heard that it would be in August, but no word from AGA yet.

I would love to see a second one! These things are really exciting.

AFAIK, the sponsor aspect still awaits solution. IOW, chances are increasing that the event might not occur. This lets me wonder though why the event can't be held without sponsor money.

Anything remotely similar to the 2008 mind games must cost a few million dollars.

Not if it is run like a European go congress, i.e. participants pay everything themselves and prizes are a joke.

Probably every country. What i dont see in the website is if there is any sponsoring. There are sponsors in the right side, but not much else is said.

I'd certainly like to go this year :)

It doesn't really bode well that the IGF haven't announced anything yet

Probably the details are about to be delivered to each Federation ... but form me the most important clue of what's going to happen is this:

Quote:
There are many hotels of every category, within walking distance from the Congress Centre “Lille Grand Palais” which is about 10 minutes’ walk from downtown Lille.


sounds like come and play, but pay your own sleep.. I don't know if you agree with me

It looks very much like a 'come if you can afford it' event.

well... in the last official communication from IMSA

"We have negotiated very good rates with some hotels of every category downtown Lille, within walking distance from the Congress Centre

All the hotels are not more than 10’ walk from the Lille Grand Palais.

Each participant in the event can now book its hotel room."

so come and play.. if you can afford it

The problem there is, we have no idea about the dates of the competition.

The EGF is organising the Go, not the IGF. So hopefully they will provide details soon...

There's a meeting of the IGF next week at which the EGF are submitting some proposals, so we can expect some announcements soon after that.
