It was in the fall meeting 2013 in Malaysia when Turku was selected as the host to the CDIO 2016 conference. At first the conference seemed to be far away with plenty of time to prepare, but the closer the actual conference came, the more the pace has increased. However, I am a very lucky person since from the beginning I have had a wonderful group of people working for the conference. We are ready for the show! I want to use this opportunity and thank you all for the work that you have done for the conference without calculating the hours!
