Program.

The International Foundation for Cultural Property Protection’s Ninth Annual 
Conference will be held in Winston-Salem, NC October 14-18, hosted by the 
Reynolda House, Museum of American Art.  We are very excited about this unique 
opportunity to explore a new and outstanding cultural community. The theme for 
this year's big event will be "Keeping Up with the Times - A Higher Level of 
Learning." 

The 2007 conference will run 3 full days, plus a special post-conference 
security excursion to the Biltmore Estate. In addition to several timely new 
general sessions, we will be adding a whole new dimension to management training 
with the CIPM II certification program. This advanced study course for 
administrators, managers, directors, and other professionals, will feature a wide range 
of expanded special subjects.

Conference attendees will be welcomed to the area in an opening reception on 
Sunday October 14 at the Marriott Winston-Salem.  Educational sessions and 
special programs begin the morning of October 15, running through the afternoon 
of October 17.  Special tours include a reception and security exercise at the 
Reynolda House Museum of American Art, and a special tour and dinner at Old 
Salem.  On Thursday, October 18, the group travels to the Biltmore Estate for an 
exclusive tour of the winery and other facilities, including a special 
security tour.

Almost too much to take advantage of, attendees may complete requirements for 
Certified Institutional Protection Manager (CIPM I, CIPM II), attend special 
presentations by leading national and international authorities, participate 
in several field excursions, and network with the leading professionals in 
cultural property protection.

The conference opens with a special session presented by Lieutenant Colonel 
Joseph A. Ruffini, retired army intelligence specialist and author of "When 
Terror Comes to Main Street,"  Returning for another dynamic performance is 
former ASIS International President, Steve Milwee, CPP, along with several new 
faces...and only the best programs available anywhere, as is the tradition with 
IFCPP!
