Is AU International?
Posted by Joseph Wurcher on November 13, 2006
The answer is YES. This year we will have representatives from 64 countries at AU. Although approx. 85% of all attendees will be from the USA, some of the other countries had the biggest growth, in percent. For example, registrations from Canada and Denmark almost doubled. The UK and Australia upped their number of participants by 50% each. Counts for countries like China, Russia, or Brazil are still low, but they all will participate in AU in greater numbers this year. Only country that is sending fewer folks is Japan – I guess AU Japan might be the reason for that. All together, there will be over 1000 non-US participants at this years event – which I think qualifies AU as an international event.
PS: Given my Austrian background, I am happy to see that 50% more of my countrymen will come to AU – bringing the total to three.

Joseph…Is this “public” information? Just curious about the number attending from Canada. Might we see AU Canada in the future? One can dream.

Bernie,
Over 400 participants from Canada.
Since Vegas is so close, AU Canada might not happen soon.
