We’re very pleased to have found a truly exceptional place for hosting the conference dinner. The<br />

Belgian Comic Strip Center is housed in a magnificent Art Nouveau temple (architect Victor Horta,<br />

1906) and since its opening in 1989 has become one of Brussels major tourist draws. Every year more<br />

than 200,000 visitors come here to explore 4,200 m 2 worth of permanent and temporary exhibitions.<br />

With more than 700 comic strip authors, Belgium has more comic strip artists per square kilometre<br />

than any other country in the world! It is here that the comic strip has grown from a popular medium<br />

into an art in its own right. Nowhere else comics are so strongly rooted in reality and in people’s<br />

imagination. This kingdom of the imagination is home to some of Belgium’s best-known comic strip<br />

heroes: Tintin, Spirou, Bob and Bobette, the Smurfs, Lucky Luke, Blake and Mortimer, Marsupilami,<br />

etc.<br />

We hope this unique building and the world-class meal we’ll enjoy there will make for a memorable<br />

networking event and a fitful closing for the conference.<br />
