▣ 6.1 Rationale for the Naming of Past Conferences.

An informal series of workshops have been offered over the years. There have also been two series of conferences and congresses; the first starting in 1970 was named the International Conference on the Theory of Positive Disintegration.

.

▣ 6.2 International Conference Series.

• ⚀ First–Laval University, Quebec (1970)
• ⚀ Second–Loyola College, Montreal (1972)
• ⚀ Third–Miami, Florida (1980)
• ⚀ Fourth–Warsaw (1987)
• ⚀ Fifth–Fort Lauderdale, Florida (2002)

.

▣ 6.3 Biennial Conference Series.

When we met in Keystone, CO, in 1994, the group decided to meet every two years, ideally alternating between a Canadian location and an American location. Hence, when I hosted the next conference, held in Alberta in 1996, I called it the Second Biennial Conference.

• ⚀ First–Keystone, Colorado (1994)
• ⚀ Second–Banff (Kananaskis) Alberta, (1996)
• ⚀ Third–Kendall College, Evanston, Illinois. (1998)
• ⚀ Fourth–Mont-Tremblant, Quebec. (2000)
• ⚀ Fifth–No conference in the biennial series was held this year, instead, Norbert Duda hosted the Fifth International Conference in Fort Lauderdale (2002).

.

▣ 6.4 The streams merged in 2002.

▣ The International Conference Series and the Biennial Conference Series streams merged in 2002.

At the meeting in Fort Lauderdale (2002), the group decided that the two conference series should be merged. It was suggested that in the future:

• ⚀ International meetings be referred to as Congresses,
• ⚀ National meetings could be referred to as Conferences and that
• ⚀ Regional meetings be called Workshops.

▣ International Congresses:

• ⚀ Sixth–Calgary, Alberta (2004)
• ⚀ Seventh International Congress–Calgary, Alberta (2006)
• ⚀ Eighth International Congress–Canmore, Alberta (2008)
• ⚀ Ninth International Congress–St. Charles, IL. (2010)
• ⚀ Tenth International Congress–Denver, CO. (2012)
• ⚀ Eleventh International Congress–Canmore, Alberta (2014)
