(CB) How was the decision made to have it in Amsterdam? (GC) It’s strange how many times I am asked that question, particularly by Dutch friends. Amsterdam is the perfect choice. We wanted an international city, located within a historically important ceramic culture. It needed to have easy access to other European centers and have a world-class congress center. The host country also needed to be one that is supportive of the arts and on this level the Netherlands is the unchallenged leader in Europe. The fact that the Dutch are so hospitable and that most speak English (the official language of the symposium) was the clincher. (CB) When and how can we register to attend? (GC) Registration is simple; however, it does not begin until April 1, 1998. If you live outside the United States you will register with Eurocongress in Amsterdam (J. van Goyenkade 11, 1075 HP Amsterdam).
