8th International Masonry Conference, 4th to 7th July 2010, Dresden, Germany

“Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Masonry Construction”

This year the Technical University Dresden, together with the International Masonry Society (IMS), is hosting the 8th International Masonry Conference.

This conference takes place approximately every four years and is carried out by the IMS. In 2010 it is the first time that it is being held outside Great Britain – in Dresden. The aim in future is that the conference should be staged throughout Europe by different organizers.

The venue is the Hilton Hotel, located centrally near the Frauenkirche. The entire conference will be rounded off by a widely varied accompanying programme, e.g. a concert in the Frauenkirche and the conference dinner. Further information, programme and registration: www.masonry-conference.com.↓
