Pavla writes:

“My interest in semiotics dates back to my university years. I coordinated the inaugural Semiofest 2012 in London. With an untested and experimental format (and shoe-string budget), the event welcomed a global community of semiotic practitioners, academics, students and enthusiasts – nearly 70 delegates from 20 countries attended. For me, the first Semiofest will always be unique; it felt like a gathering of old friends. I have been a keen advocate for Semiofest since then and so I’m very happy to be part of the team once again.”
