Denver Reception - Thanks for Joining Us
Margaret Moes - EuRA Vice-President

The Daniel Lieberskind extension to the Denver Art Musuem

For the very first time EuRA organised a cocktail party for its members who were at the ERC conference.  Although it was a few blocks away from the actual conference venue many attended and it was a great success.  Initially we had booked a room for 50 people but soon realised that it was likely that more members would like to attend.  The booking was changed to 70 and we were all amazed and happily surprised that 120 members and their guests were able to join us.

Although in the beginning the air conditioning was not working and the room very hot everyone was really enjoying themselves.  It felt very much like a big family-reunion where you know everyone and only have to turn around to see another familiar face; which is very welcoming when you are at an international venue with almost 1500 attendees!

EuRA’s President, Alex Ellis welcomed everyone and reminded them of the upcoming members’ day in Frankfurt where a very important announcement on the development for EuRA will be announced. Obviously from then on all conversations were on speculation of what it could be and indeed some great ideas were mentioned but not the right one!

I am sure that from now on this party will a regular fixture in the diary of EuRA!
