The series of conferences were to be held around the globe beginning on the 1st of November 2008 and ending on the 1st of March 2009. In total 41 conferences were to take place: 9 in Africa, 13 in the Americas, 6 in Europe, 10 in Asia and 3 in the Australasia region[1] with the total number of particpants close to eighty-thousand.
