    I was just thinking - as I received a call for submission to the next conference for architects that our regulator puts on - that a session on Bonsai would be a real eye opener. The conference will be in Ottawa, in May 2025. If you're interested I could put together an interactive session outline - based on the flow of your videos. Two 1.5hr sessions, one that provides an overview of what you can do, and the second one as a kind of hands on session. We could also demo some advanced topics in the first session like Bruno's work, and the energy modelling workflow I'm sorting out with Wassim Jabi, and the wbLCA stuff I'm trying to nail down with Stefano. You'd be the lead presenter - I'd just provide support. The OAA (Ontario Association of Architects) covers your travel, meal and conference expenses. Interested?

      Hi Andyro, I would definitely be keen and interested! All those others you have mentioned are also great, have you reached out to Dion and Ryan? I am certain they would be a great asset to have for the event as well.

    https://oaa.on.ca/working-with-an-architect/member-benefits/continuing-education-program/2025-call-for-oaa-conference-proposals-1 - you sound South African, is that where you are based? If so do you know Francois Swanepoel? (longtime regional ArchiCad reseller/support there, he also sees Bonsai as the future after Graphisoft's recent super-greedy business decisions)

      Hi Andyro, yes I am South African based in Johannesburg and I have spoken with Francois on occasion and a few others, there is an organisation this side called Open design Alliance aswell, but I'm not too active with them unfortunately.
