Hello and many thanks, Catherine.
I'd never heard of them but I'm seriously considering going. Are you a member and are you thinking of going?

Hi Sheila,
Sorry for replying late.
No, I cannot go to this meeting.
Although I am not (yet) a member, I've been receiving their announcements for years and I usually shared the links with my colleagues at the EMRO (Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office) of WHO, which were based in Cairo, but they left Egypt some months ago.
Every year, I plan to become a member, but when I have time to think of and do it, it's always at the end of summer, and then, as for the ATA, when I go to their site I see that the subscription fees are for a full calendar year, so I systematically postpone the subscription until next January, when I systematically have no time to do it or forget it.
It's a kind of perpetual vicious circle
Have a nice weekend
Catherine

I still haven't become a member of SFT, for the same reason. In fact, they even suggested themselves in a note a couple of weeks ago that perhaps it would be best to wait until January! I know I'll forget then. I really don't know how difficult it could be for a (presumably computerised) membership system to cope with a renewal date any time during the year.
I'm not sure yet whether I'll go, but thanks again for the heads-up.
Sheila

| METM11 meeting | Jan 27, 2012 |
Hi Sheila and Catherine,
I have been a member of MET since it was founded in 2005 and have attended all their meetings and most of the workshops in their CPD programme. All I can say is it is most definitely worthwhile. The events are very reasonably priced and the quality excellent. The 2012 meeting will be held in Venice. The website is www.metmeetings.org.
