The Annual International Conference 2009: CONFERENCE SCHEDULE AND REGISTRATION FORM AVAILABLE HERE

The Joseph Conrad Society’s 2009 Annual International Conference, its 35th, will be held on 2-4 July at two venues in London. The third Philip J. Conrad Memorial Lecture will be delivered by Andrea White. As is traditional, the winner of the Juliet McLauchlan Essay Prize will be announced at the vin d'honneur held during the conference.

Venues

The sessions of 2 July will be held at the Polish Social and Cultural Association (POSK) at 238-246 King Street in Hammersmith (Ravenscourt Park Underground Station). The sessions of 3 and 4 July will be held at the University Womens' Club at 2 Audley Square, Mayfair (Green Park Underground Station: see Map).

Schedule and Registration

The final conference programme and booking form are posted here as MS Word file documents: 2009 Conference Schedule AND 2009 Conference Booking Form. The form is to be sent to the Society on the address indicated on it along with payment for registration fees and meals, the latter bookable in advance until 26 June only. Please note that booking of meals after that date is not guaranteed, the catering departments of both organizations needing to know numbers well in advance.

Travel Grants

Potential participants should note that the Society's Executive Committee at its meeting of 1 November 2008, imposed a moratorium on travel grants during 2009. No applications for these will be entertained, and participants are urged to seek funding from other sources, if required.

Accommodations

The University Women's Club has graciously extended its reasonable members' rates to Conference attendees for the nights of 3 and 4 July. The night of 2 July is at a regular guest rate. Men are welcome, and accommodated on certain floors. Please note that space is limited (21 rooms are available). See the attached brochure for details: UWC Accommodations.
