4-th French Large Format Conference, Bourges, France, October 10, 11, 12 2008
This conference is the continuation of a series of conferences organised by a French-speaking Large Format Community & Friends who regularly meet on http://www.galerie-photo.com, http://www.galerie-photo.info, and in the real world !
This conference is the 4-th conference; previous events were held in Nîmes, France in June 2004, Fontfroide Abbey, France in October 2006 and Montreux, Switzerland in September 2007.
The 2008 conference is sponsored and hosted by the local government of Département du Cher.
All lectures and presentations will be given in French but a lot of time is devoted to informal gathering, many participants do speak English & other foreign languages, so based on the previous conferences, the language barrier is not a real problem.
Location : Hôtel du Département du Cher, Bourges, France.
Dates : Friday, October 10, Saturday, October 11 and Sunday, October 12, 2008
Admission to the conference is FREE of CHARGE.
Many thanks to our sponsors !! Lunches to be paid extra, see below.
Linguistic note : in France, a hôtel might not always be a hotel; in our case, Hôtel du Département is in fact a superb historical mansion where the local government has its headquarters. So please do not ask for accommodation at Hôtel du Département du Cher
