Thanks go out to Carl Myatt, AIA for finding a critical error on the AIA Continental Europe site. In two places (known so far) the Porto conference is mentioned as taking place in March, which conflicts with other mentions of it occuring in May. Please accept my sincerest apologies for the error: the correct month is May, specifically the 13th through the 16th, with an extension on the 17th.
We will be posting the first draft of the conference description and schedule very soon.

The new design for the AIA Continental Europe web site made its debut with the December 2003 newsletter. More updates are in the works. The site will be a mix of new and old for most of the winter. The old front page is still here, although it now withers on the vine.
16 December 2004 update: the old index has been removed from the server.
