I've just found out (on the French forum EspritApnee) that Apnea Academy organizes an international scientific conference "Apnea Training" in Ligano Sabbiadoro, Italy on 1st - 2nd December 2007. There are many big names on the list of participants:
Freedivers Martin Stepanek, Carlos Coste, Guillaume Nery, Patrick Musimu, Mandy-Rae Cruickshank, William Trubridge, ...
Italian freediving elite Umberto Pelizzari, Michele Tomasi, Paola Parenti, Paola Tagliabue, Stefano Tovaglieri, ...
Spearfishers Stefano Bellani, Renzo Mazzari, Riccardo Molteni, Maurizio Ramacciotti, ...
Scientists Dr. Nicola Sponsiello, Dr. Danilo Cialoni, Prof. Di Prampero, Prof. Guido Ferretti, Prof. Frederic Lemaitre, Prof. Tino Balestra, ...
Coaches Kirk Krack, Mimmo Blanda, Walter Mazzei, ...
It is rather surprising that such an important and star filled event was not promoted, and not even mentioned at DB at all yet (at least I did not find anything in the DB archive).
If you did not hear about it either yet, you can get more information here:
