The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene invites delegates to join them at their Welcome Reception on Wednesday 17th September. The evening will begin at 19.30 in the Brighton Royal Pavilion with tours of Brighton Museum organised for delegates. The cost of the Reception is included in the registration fee.

Royal Pavilion
The spectacular seaside palace of the Prince Regent (George IV) transformed by John Nash between 1815 and 1822 into one of the most dazzling and exotic buildings in the British Isles. The Pavilion houses furniture and works of art including original pieces lent by HM The Queen and a magnificent display of Regency silver-gilt. Magnificent decorations and fantastic furnishings have been re-created in a £10 million extensive restoration programme.




Brighton Museum & Art Gallery
A £10 million redevelopment has transformed Brighton Museum into a state-of-the-art visitor attraction. Dynamic and innovative galleries - including fashion and style, 20th century art and design, and world art - feature exciting interactive displays appealing to all ages. In addition to the permanent galleries, there will be a new exhibition - Chinese Whispers: Chinoiserie in Britain 1650–1930.

Conference Dinner

The 2008 Conference Dinner will be held at the Hilton Brighton Metropole. Occupying a prime location on the seafront with its imposing red-brick façade, the Hilton Brighton Metropole has been a prominent feature of Brighton’s 7-mile seafront since it was designed in the 1890s by the president of the Royal Institute of Architects, Alfred Waterhouse. Steeped in history, the hotel is the perfect place to enjoy a pre dinner drinks reception, followed by the Gala Dinner.

The cost to attend the Conference Dinner will be £45.00 (inc VAT). Students will be entitled to a concessionary rate of £20.00 (inc VAT).
