It was held at Philosophy, The University of Missouri Columbia, and was available online and in person.
The published audience was philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and neuroscience researchers.
It was most useful for philosophers of mind, cognitive scientists and neuroscientists working on how spatial representation relates to language and reasoning, since confirmed speakers came from UCL, UC Davis, Geneva, MIT and Microsoft Research and the organizing group spans philosophy, psychology and neurology. The aim of producing an edited volume and building collaborations, plus an online option, favored researchers who wanted to contribute to a focused project; those wanting a broad survey or applied industry content would have gotten less from it.
Academic workshops in philosophy and cognitive science usually involve casual to smart casual clothing, such as jeans or slacks with a shirt or sweater. October in Columbia, Missouri is mild, so a light layer sufficed.
