I’ve been following the odd post in this thread, and it seems the original 
concept for convergences would resolve all the kafuffle. 

The original concept for Pc Convergences was to hold 2 events, 
1) a public event (conference, expo, fair, festival, symposium, etc) for the 
general public and potentially open to allied organisations and movements for 
cross-pollination of ideas. 
2) a closed convergence event for PDC graduates to talk shop about the pc 
movement, practices, policies, education and other internal matters. At 
times, some convergences  have had one or more  specialist guest ‘non-pc’ 
speakers mainly in the context of pc professional development.

The above doesn’t need to complicate the event, but can give better clarity 
of purpose, opportunity for outreach (public event),  and also provide pc 
practitioner with a discreet space (convergence) to explore internal matters 
to move forward.

cheers

Robyn
