EXCITING NEWS REGARDING THE MEETING!
On behalf of the organizing committee, I am pleased to announce that the host hotel is now the Hotel Kenzi Farah.  This five star hotel provides for our delegates an unparalleled resort-like experience.  The site is located within a 3 hectare private park and provides an excellent place to both meet and stay.  The Kenzi Farah is located just minutes from the airport and provides a cultural experience not soon forgotten.
