AIC Annual Meeting

We are Going to Burn the House Down...and There's Still Time to Join
in

Planning is well underway for the 26th Annual Meeting for The
American Institute for Conservation:  Disaster Preparedness,
Response and Recovery  to be held June 1-7, 1998 in Arlington,
Virginia.

Do you know how you would respond when called upon in a disaster?
What would you do if a client asked you what to do with a wet, burnt
work of art covered with sewage?  What if a whole collection was
flooded?  Where would you start? What do you do when the Fire
Department, Red Cross, FEMA, or the Department of Defense are on the
scene?  What are the ins-and-outs of dealing with Insurance
Companies? Don't Wait for Disaster to Strike Before You Contribute
Your Ideas.

The abstract submission deadline for the Response session has passed
and the submissions have been outstanding. There is still time to
participate.  You can contribute your ideas, experiences, and
suggestions by submitting an abstract before October 7, 1998 to any
of the Specialty Group Chairs.  If you are unsure about presenting a
formal paper consider the more visual and less formal opportunities
for posters, tabletop demonstrations, and discussion groups and
workshops.
