	This is to be the final version of the program. A print copy will be available in the booklet at the conference.

	Garden Sessions have been scheduled in the parallel session time slots. These will be informal garden chats conducted by plenary speakers and held in the gardens of the Friendship Hotel - the location will be sign-posted at the conference.
	Chinese language presentations are scheduled in all Room 1 sessions
	An evening visit to the International Art School of Beijing has been organised by our hosts, Beijing Normal University. This is scheduled for Wednesday, 17 July, departing 7.30pm from the conference venue. There will be a tour of the school campus followed by a spectacular traditional Chinese Dance, Drama & Acrobatics performance. Many of the students are from regional China and have delayed their return to their home towns as they are very excited at the opportunity to display their art to an international audience. We encourage as many delegates as possible to attend - accompanying family members are welcome and there is no charge for this visit, so please do attend. Transport to the International Art School will depart from the front of the Friendship Palace at 7.30 pm , Wednesday, 17 July, and return you to your hotel at the end of the performance.
