Art Deco Society of Washington Members and Friends,
We have received the following announcement of the 9th World Congress on
Art Deco to be held in Melbourne, Australia, in April, 2007. I have
attended the two previous World Congresses in Cape Town, South Africa,
and New York City and enjoyed them tremendously. So if you are planning
to travel in 2007, keep this event in mind.

World Congress on Art Deco
Hello everyone from Melbourne, Australia, host of the 9th World Congress
on Art Deco in 2007. You are receiving this e-mail because we believe
you to be a supporter of celebrating Art Deco.
We are looking forward to next year’s Congress and hope that you will
travel "down-under" to join in the fun. If you know of any other lovers
and supporters of Art Deco that may be interested in receiving regular
e-mail updates on the Congress, we would appreciate you sending this
message onto them.
Please note the following:
· The Congress will be held from Monday 16th April to Friday 20th April,
2007.
· A "welcome event" will held on the evening of Sunday 15th April.
· April is Autumn (Fall) in Melbourne and is usually a very pleasant
time of year.
· The Congress Hotel is the Sofitel Melbourne, recently refurbished to a
high standard. The hotel occupies levels 36 to 50, so each room has
views over Melbourne. The cost per room will be A$240 per night (about
US$170 at current exchange rates), and the Congress rate is available
for three days either side of the Congress. You can see the hotel at
www.sofitelmelbourne.com.au
· A list of alternate accommodation and rates will be provided.
· Unlike most hotels, the Sofitel boasts an auditorium with tiered
seating, where daily events and presentations will be held.
· The registration cost of the Congress is currently being determined.
· A pre-Congress programme is currently being planned by our colleagues
in Sydney.
· The web-site of our society, www.artdeco.org.au, is currently being
updated to include details of the Congress. It will also provide on-line
booking facilities.
· For an outline of Melbourne’s Art Deco attractions, see the article on
www.artdeconews.com
It would assist with our planning if we were able to gain an indication
of numbers that may attend. If you are thinking about attending, could
you please send a response to me at robingrow@ozemail.com.au
If we can provide any assistance or information about Melbourne, please
contact us.
Regards and hope to hear from you soon
