I think there is no progress beyond just the suggestion.

I think this is a good proposal. Thank you for the suggestion.

I am very interested in such a conference. If the duration of
the conference is long enough, then I think there can be some
sessions devoted just to Axiom. But I also think that it is
good to discuss Axiom in the context of a more general conference
because this allows Axiom to be more visible to other people who
might not otherwise have the time or sufficient motivation to
attend an Axiom-only meeting.

Note: There is a web page on the Axiom Wiki where some notes
about the next Axiom meeting are collected. Please feel free
to update it.
