They are suggesting that we postpone the conference until later next year (see attached). I still plan on seeing you later this month and will bring a few people to meet with you. gino Begin forwarded message: From: Giuseppe Bersani Subject: Re: {H! SPAM ???} Re: Free to meet tomorrow? Date: 17 October 2016 at 12:56:33 AM GMT-7 To: Gino Yu Cc: Ornella Corazza Dear Gino, excuse my late response. I have just spent a lot of time speaking to my colleagues of the Neuroscience Center in La Habana, that recommended me very strongly to postpone the congress, possibly to next October or November, to have enough time to organize an event with a very wide international resonance. Moreover, the Director of the Center will not be in Cuba in next April. I also checked about the room availability in the Congress Palace and I didn't find any free date, since the rooms must be reserved about one year in advance. I apologize for these newly coming problems and I would like to know your opinion about the hypothesis of this postponement. At this regard, I trust that for that period I will also get a better financial help by my University for the congress organization. My general view is that, based on the size and the success of the previous editions, we must aim to an even greater and successful outstanding event, centered on our common topic of "Creativity" but also open to contributions of the greatest number of Cuban and international participants, neuroscientists, reserchears, clinicians, etc. We can ambitiously aim to this! Please let me know your opinion, I am sure we will find the best solution. My warmest thanks for your cooperation, sincerely, Giuseppe 2016-10-15 16:32 GMT+02:00, Gino Yu +:a: Hi Giuseppe, Are the dates confirmed? Also, if we want to do an experiential workshop for the local entrepreneurs, artists, etc. is there a venue? Maybe the two days before the conference? gino EFTA00814480 On 5 Oct 2016, at 12:51 PM, Corazza, Omella < > wrote: Sounds great, thanks Gino. Happy to present at both events if compatible with my schedule. What are the dates? 18.20 April? Also when is TSC? I like the title but it might need a subtitle for Cuba. How about 'From Known to New": advances in creativity and neuroscience. Thanks and speak soon O. On 5 Oct 2016, at 18:59, Gino Yu <mailto >> wrote: Are we OK on the dates? Also. I've come up with a title for the Conference: From Known to New Let me know what you think. I'm putting a writeup together that should be done by the weekend. I'm also planning a gathering probably beforehand or immediately after either in Costa Rica or Turks and Caicos on "Transtech old and new" will include transformation technologies (- <->), wisdom practices (meditation, sounds etc.). and 'plant medicines' such as Ayahuasca. Ibogaine, etc.). Will be experiential.... week-long. gino On 15 Sep 2016. at 4:23 PM. Giuseppe Bersani wrote: Dear Gino, thank you for your precious efforts! I will send you a better presentation of the event in very short time. Have a god time in Goa! Giuseppe 2016.09-15 2:40 GMT+02:00 Gino Yu <a>>: Yes. I've got it funded already. Just looking for more sponsorship. We definitely need a better writeup for the event. I started one, but am a bit slammed (headed to Goa tonight). Big news is that my benefactor is going to get Alex Castro (Fidel's son) involved. Need a good writeup. gino On 14 Sep 2016, at 5:39 PM.

I appreciate the opportunity you presented for BIOPAC to help sponsor your conference. We conducted a thorough review of the conference in line with our event marketing plan, the criteria we use for evaluating sponsorship and exhibition opportunities, other major marketing events that are already scheduled for that time frame, and budget. While it's a fascinating opportunity. we've decided to pass on 2017. Please keep us in mind for, and advised of, this and other conferences in which you participate so we can evaluate those opportunities. Again, many thanks for thinking of BIOPAC. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation when you visited, you have a very capable assistant who clearly has unlimited potential, and I sincerely hope we can find an opportunity in the future to work together.

Its been a bit hectic with the new semester starting here in Hong Kong shortly (and I've been away for the past month). I sent you some of the answers from Giuseppe previously (attached for the others below). As Giuseppe mentioned, we anticipate more than 200 for the event next year with the makeup being 50% researchers and 50% students. Again. we have a good network there and can help target your target audience. I've been doing some work on the program and believe I've got a compelling theme that strikes at the core of mind - body relationship, EFTA00814482 especially related to different forms of knowing. and happy to provide that also as a p a orm or promo ing your pro uc s. That event is already funded but can offer if you help with our Cuba event. The overall cost for the Cuba event is $19K as broken down in the budget provided by Giuseppe. Ideally, we'd like to get it all from you. but would be happy if we could get $10K. The date we have planned, pending approval from the Congress Centre is: April 18.20. There is no new website as the event was not run last year or this year. I have recently joined the team and intend to make this a core event for the Americas. A group that I am involved with has acquired the TSC event and am developing a strategy for hitting the US, Europe. and Asia annually. Would love to build a long-term relationship with Biopac. Gino From Giuseppe: Hy Gino. some brief answers to the questions in the message you forwarded. The attendance in past editions was over 200. We are aware of high expectation of new edition and can foresee an at least equivalent number of participants. The percentage of students and researchers was about 50% each and we expect something like that next year. I enclose a preliminary list of costs, to be forwarded to potential sponsors. For the dates, I am still waiting the confirmation from the Congress Palace in La Habana. I proposed April 18-20 and we can refer to this date at present. According to needs of the sponsor, the date can be postponed as necessary. Thank you again, let's be in touch! Giuseppe „•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•. ................................
