AoIR is looking for it's next Flashpoint Symposium location. Are you interested in bringing AoIR to your region in 2026 or 2027? We'd like to hear from you!

https://aoir.org/callfor2026flashpointsymposium

Taking a car to the party tonight? The Cidaddes venue has 2 entrances. It is a big venue that covers 2 blocks. They sent us their second address that is better for car access: Av. Binário do Porto (next to the Cidaddess venue), near the Cury real estate sales booth, in the direction of the Bus Station (VLT Station: Cordeiro da Graça).
