Announcing The AWT / Friends of the Petrie Museum Conference
Following the huge success of the 2009 conference weekend, we are repeating the event on the weekend of the 21st/22nd August 2010.
Once again, we have some superb speakers lined up for you including Mansoor Boraik, Director of the Egyptology for Upper Egypt, Adam Lowe who is working on the Factum Arte reproduction of the tomb of Tutankhamun, Ian Mathieson, Jaromir Malek, Elizabeth Bloxham, Nick Jackson, Dylan Bickerstaffe, Sam Nixon and Sally-Ann Ashton.
We are delighted to welcome back our old friend Medhat Saad, AWT’s senior guide in Egypt, who many of you know already.
The lectures this year will again be held in the Cruciform Theatre, just a few minutes walk from Goodge Street tube. As well as the exceptional group of speakers we have this year, there will be some splendid social aspects to the weekend including a buffet supper (or possibly a barbecue – weather permitting) at the University on the Saturday evening.
