Well maybe make a bi-yearly as it alternates now with APIS. Doing both an
APIS and a Platypus in the same year would make me crazy.
The key is networking and both events provide that in different formats:
Platypus is informal and APIS is semi-formal. Lists like this one and mine
are very useful but nothing beats one-on-one and actually seeing the prints.
