From the CEO's desk: final 2014 message
November, 2014
The CEO has been in Rio checking on preparations for the world conference and council meeting being held in 2016. Dates for various associated meetings have been announced and he is clearly excited: "Rio really is a fantastic city, with many beaches right in the heart of the city. The conference itself is planned for Rio Centro, an excellent congress centre on a really lovely campus, close to what will become the Olympic village for the 2016 Olympics."
