Dear friends, members of AIMC,

As appointed president of the 12th  AIMC congress, I would like to welcome you in Greece. 

Together with the group of greek volunteers we work hard in order to serve in the best way the aims of the congress. Our main concern is to ensure that you will be more than satisfied with your participation in the congress and your stay in Greece.

Some of the criteria we have set for that, were safe and easy access to all places involved and a tour program which combines the best of classical Greece, with Delos, the sacred island and center of Cyclades on top, where I will personally show the secrets of the mosaics, since I have worked there for more than 10 years as their conservator.. 

It is more than true that the last months we have monopolized international media time with the situation of the Greek Economy, a fact that may have caused you worries about the successful outcome of the congress. It is also true that we are trying to adjust to the new circumstances, but regardless of the strict economical measures, some things stay the same, such as, our hospitality and our will to welcome you as friends, safe, at home. 

Being sure that, with your participation and help we will all enjoy a successful congress, a very interesting   mosaic exhibition and a fascinating tour, the volunteers and I are waiting to welcome you in Athens. 

Please remember to notify us about flight number and arrival time, to pick you up from the airport.

See you soon!

Nikos
