Stimmt, Rückmeldung ist das Stichwort :-) Wollte schon früher zurückschreiben, 
aber besser spät als zu spät...

Wenn Akademy 2018 in Wien zustande kommt, dann möchte ich während der Akademy-

Ich wohne aber nicht in Wien, werde mir für Akademy Urlaub nehmen. Die 
Vorfeldorganisation müssen Leute übernehmen, die schon in Wien wohnen.

Grüße
