On 25/26th May delegates gathered in London and enjoyed an unexpectedly fine spell of weather for the 2012 Conference.

On the Friday afternoon a visit was arranged to the offices of the host firm, Macilvin Moore Reveres, in Harrow and later on in the evening there was a dinner at Smith’s Bar and Grill in Paddington Central where everyone enjoyed cuisine described as “modern British”.

Saturday morning was the formal IAPA conference and AGM chaired with his usual aplomb by Peter Scheller with the financial report from Hugo Schauli, a very interesting presentation by Tom Keane and various contributions from the other delegates followed by a buffet lunch.

In addition to the usual program of events many of the delegates and their partners managed to find time for some of London’s famous shopping venues and even a round or two of golf ! Having proved to be capable of hosting an IAPA conference London is now declared officially ready to cope with the 2012 Olympic Games!

We now look forward to the 2013 Annual Conference at a venue still to be announced.
