41st IATEFL Annual
Conference and Exhibition Aberdeen 18th - 22nd
April 2007:
IATEFL is the International Association of
Teachers of English as a Foreign Language.
Founded in the UK in 1967, it now has over 3,500
members in 100 different countries throughout
the world.
The 41st IATEFL Annual Conference and Exhibition
will take place at Aberdeen from 18th - 22nd
April 2007.
The Aberdeen and Exhibition and Conference
Centre is 2.7 miles north of Aberdeen on
Exhibition Avenue, Bridge of Don, Aberdeen. This
new world-class centre was officially opened in
April 2003 by HRH The Princess Royal. The
plenary space can take up to 2,000 delegates and
there is free car parking for 4,000 cars. There
is a wide choice of accommodation from budget B
& Bs to 5 star hotels in the area.
There are excellent road, rail and air links.
The centre is adjacent to the A90 trunk road.
Aberdeen airport is 15 minutes drive away. The
airport has flight connections to all 4 London
airports and most other UK and N. European
airports.
Aberdeen has many names: The Granite City, The
Oil Capital of Europe, The Silver City by the
Golden Sands and The Floral City. Each name
gives a hint of a special feature. For Aberdeen,
Scotland's third city, has many buildings made
of granite, one of the hardest and most enduring
stones ( Examples are, the turreted Town House,
the Citadel and Marischal College).
The discovery of off-shore oil has brought many
cultures and nationalities here. Aberdeen is a
cosmopolitan metropolis with two universities, a
5 star Maritime Museum and restaurants, coffee
shops and tea rooms aplenty.
There's a fine white sand beach less than a mile
from the city centre and Aberdeen has won the
'Britain in Bloom' contest many times. |
