The ESWC Organizing Committee announced today that the 7th Grand Final of the ongoing season is delayed to the end of the year.
The current global economic context is not favorable to the organization of the event in June in Paris as previous. More time is necessary to finance and prepare properly the project. New dates and location shall be announced in the upcoming months.
The ESWC Grand Final has been organized successfully the last 6 years in the Futuroscope of France for the 2 first editions, 3 years in Paris (at the Carrousel du Louvre in 2005, in Bercy in 2006, Porte de Versailles in 2007), and last year in San José, CA, USA.
