CEDIC'19 - 10 years anniversary: It was a great conference, worthy of CEDIC's 10th anniversary. Qualitative lectures and workshops were again the heart of the event and the international telescope and astrophotography exhibition of our partners completed the offer for the visitors perfectly.
Review - how it all began: An anniversary is an opportunity to remember how it began and draw a short summary. It started with a dream and a courageous idea. Astrophotographers from Upper Austria realized their idea of an international event in spring 2009, which focuses on the exchange of information between astrophotographers and people with an enthusiasm for astronomy. This first conference CEDIC'09 was a great success and so the CEDIC team decided to continue the conference every 2 years. Meanwhile, CEDIC has become an internationally recognized conference with renowned astrophotographers and speakers from all over the world. In the past 10 years more than 1000 visitors from all continents came to Linz and the popularity of the conference is still growing.
The location: The Ars Electronica Center (AEC), a unique facility in the world in which the conference is held, makes a major contribution to the ambience of CEDIC. The Ars Electronica Center (AEC), also known as the "Museum of the Future", offers impressive technical possibilities that can be particularly impressive for the presentation of astronomical images. A spectacular demonstration in the AEC's Deep Space with high-resolution images of galaxies and gas nebulae in 16 x 9-meter format, taken by the world's best astrophotographers, took participants on a journey into the vastness of space and amazed them.
Looking ahead: It is a great challenge to organize a conference of this size, but the excellent feedback from the speakers and participants, partners and friends motivate us to "do it again".
We are already looking forward to the next CEDIC which is scheduled for 5th - 7th of March 2021, once again in Linz, Austria.
Yours,
CEDIC Spotlight Team
