Lisbon, Portugal, September 22-24, 2006
Lisbon's position on seven low hills beside a river once
lured traders and settlers, and it's still a stunning site. Add to that its
cultural diversity, laid-back feel and architectural time warp, and you have
one of the most enjoyable cities in Europe - and also one of the most
economical.
At its heart are wide, tree-lined avenues graced by Art Nouveau buildings,
mosaic pavements and street cafes. Seen from the river - one of the city's
many great viewpoints - Lisbon is an impressionist picture of low-rise ochre
and pastel, punctuated by church towers and domes.
The city is a mix of vibrant blue and white azulejos (painted tiles),
cobblestoned laneways, wildly extravagant Manueline architecture, melancholy
fado singing, funiculars, fun and more than a touch of the medieval. Elegant,
pretty and with an appetite for life, Lisbon will seep into your soul until
you too are filled with saudade for her.
The Conference will take place at the
HOLIDAY INN LISBON. The
Organizing Committee after negotiations achieved a special price of 110EU per
room per night for a double room, and 100EU per room per night for a single
room
