AFMS Conference 2010 Liverpool
The AFMS is pleased to announce that Liverpool will be the venue for its next conference from the 29th September to the 2nd October 2010. Liverpool was voted the European Capital City of Culture in 2008 so there will be lots to enjoy in the city. Liverpool has a captivating history that stretches back over 800 years. A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city is home to more listed buildings than any city outside of London. The city also has a fascinating maritime history and its history as one of the world’s great ports has left a remarkable legacy of art and architecture that gives it a distinctive look and unique atmosphere.
Liverpool’s attractions have something for everyone. The Albert Dock is one of Britain’s top tourist attractions, and is home to the Beatles Story Museum, Tate Liverpool and Merseyside Maritime Museum. But the jewel in the crown of Liverpool’s museums and galleries is the amazing Walker Art Gallery - the National Gallery of the North. Liverpool’s restaurant scene has blossomed over the past decade, and whatever your taste and budget, the choice is huge. The city is home to Europe’s oldest Chinese community, so you’ll find lots of Chinese restaurants in the city’s Chinatown. And in many places you can still indulge in excellent local delicacies like Scouse and local seafood. A booking form and further details will be available in May 2010.
