For those in the U.S. or visitors to the U.S., the AGA has posted the planned locations for the next five Go Congress'. Next year (2005) will be in Seattle, Washington. The following four will all be back in the East.

I wasn't unable to attend the 2004 Congress (New York), but a friend of mine attended and had a wonderful time.

I spent the same time period in Japan playing Go. So, I had a great time anyway.

Enjoy!
