The International Foundation for Cultural Property Protection (IFCPP)
proudly announces its 8th Annual Conference, Seminar, Exhibits &
Certification Program...and...we're baaaackk...to the Hearst Castle, October
3-6, 2006!   The last gathering here was hard to beat...but be assured of an
even better experience with exciting new programs, innovative new concepts,
a great certification program, state of the art exhibits, and much more.  

Our friends at the Castle welcome us October 3 for our traditional welcome
reception, with general sessions and certification course work beginning on
the 4th, and meeting wrap-up on the 6th, leaving our participants with a
weekend full of free time or organized activities and excursions.  This is
the "HOW TO" conference, with programs geared towards YOU, our members,
supporters, advisors, and attendees.   While General Sessions will cover all
new subject matter, we're going to emphasize the basics in guard force
management, customer relations, IT security, construction security, human
resource management, and loss prevention.

We'll hear from a professional panel of directors, registrars, curators, and
facility managers discussing  how to close the gap in administrative
relationships.  Other all new, special workshops with leading national
presenters will be available for attendees, spouses, and special guests.  If
you haven't attended an IFCPP gathering in the past, talk to one of our
regulars.over 70% of our audiences come back each year.  You just can't find
a better opportunity for networking, professional education sessions, the
only available source for professional certification...and the magnificent
surroundings of San Simeon, CA, not to mention the world renowned Hearst
Castle.   Side trips will include visits to local vineyards, a nearby seal
beach, and much more.  Don't wait until the spaces are gone...this one WILL
fill up, space is limited. 

  

We're also pleased to announce that the Fall 2007 Annual Conference will be
held in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, hosted by the Reynolda House, Museum
of American Art.  We are very excited about this unique opportunity to
explore a new and outstanding cultural community.  Dates and additional
