Dear all As indicated by Nancy, the Executive is currently finalising both the general locations for the conferences in 2007 and 2008 and the process by which we will select a particular city. I would expect that we will be able to announce those locations shortly. The key factors we will be weighing up reflect several different 'needs' for the conference, including but not limited to, the financial security of the association, internationalisation and diversity, managing costs for participants, availability of effective local organisation and venues.
