Making your plans
Here are details about the 2007 ILDA
Conference. Keep in mind that arrival for most overseas participants is
via ferry from Hong Kong. If you want to attend morning events, we
recommend that you take the ferry the evening before the event. If you
don't mind missing the morning events, you can take the first ferry from
Hong Kong, and still be at the meeting site by around 1 pm.

together
- Improved business practices,
including the proposed ILDA Code of Business Practice
- Safety I -- General
topics
- Safety II -- Special

- Artistic seminar:

- Scanners -- How to tune,

ILDA Members as "professionals"?
|
|
In
addition to the seminars, Neo-Neon will be giving tours of their
factory. Attendees will be in groups; for example, Group A will
tour at the same time as the first seminars on Saturday 10 March.
You will be able to pick your groups so that you don't miss a
"must see" seminar. The
seminars and factory tours are only available to persons who
purchase a Full Conference Registration. They are not
available as separate ticket items. |
