This year’s IS is taking place between 27th December and 3rd January in the picturesque German town of Biedenkopf. If you want to know more, you should check out the cool new IS website, where you can read all about the proposed program and see photos from last year’s event

As is traditional, there promises to be a high JEB turn-out this year. If you would like to join us, feel free to get in touch at the forums, where we will do our best to answer any questions you might have. This thread, which discusses the best and cheapest ways to get to Biedenkopf, may also be of use. Don’t forget that if you’re under 26 and speak Esperanto, you may be eligible to attend Esperanto events for free
