Adelaide Looses bid for IAC 2014

Adelaide has lost the rights to host the International Astronautical Congress in 2014 after the IAC endorsed the Canadian bid to host the congress in Toronto.

Adelaide was one of four valid bids received by the IAF before the Feb 1st deadline, which included:

• Adelaide, Australia
• Istanbul, Turkey
• Jerusalem, Israel
• Toronto, Canada

The IAF announcement can be found here. Congratulations to the Canadian team, although we wish that the Adelaide bid could have been successful. Perhaps next time!
