The 2012 conference will be held at the British Museum, located in the heart of Bloomsbury, London.

The British Museum was founded in 1753 making it the first national public museum in the world. From the beginning it granted free admission to all 'studious and curious persons'. Since then, visitor numbers have grown from around 5,000 a year in the eighteenth century to nearly 6 million today.

Renowned as a museum of human history and culture in London. Its collections, which number more than seven million objects, are amongst the largest and most comprehensive in the world and originate from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginnings to the present.

The Museum's unique grade-one listed public galleries are complemented with a suite of contemporary conference facilities, designed by Lord Foster, for daytime and evening events. During gallery opening hours conference delegates will have access to the collection and special exhibitions for inspiration, relaxation and motivation.
