Thank you so much for welcoming so many of us so warmly and efficiently. It has been a truly great conference, in a very impressive place (your public library is a real dream and a great lesson, proving that utopia is possible) and with a wonderful program, both cultural and social. Congratulations to every member of the Organizing Committee who made it possible - and I know what a job it is -, with friendliness and a hint of humour which I pecularly appreciated. |

I've had a great time in Amsterdam, too bad I could only be there for one day. Thursday was great, very tiring but I learned a lot and it's great to meet and / or see music librarians and scientists from over the world. The concert of the Nederlands Kamer Koor I liked a lot. I was really tired at the end of the day: how can you manage that for a whole week? And, as all the others say too, the organisation was perfect. Thanks for that!
Greetings to you all,

Thank you to the Amsterdam organizing team for their hard work, superb arrangements and an outstanding conference! |

This was one of the most enjoyable and mind-stimulating experiences. The organizers succeeded in all aspects and we felt at home from the first instant. |

I agree with Massimo. We spent a very nice week, interesting conference,
beautiful town.
Thank you to our welcoming dutch colleagues for the organization.

I'm travelling in the UK, so I regret that my comments are a little delayed.
I just wanted to congratulate EVERYONE involved in making this conference such a rewarding experience. How can one week pass so quickly? It's a mystery, but a really nice one!
Thanks again, and I hope we will all be reunited in Moscow next year. |

Each year a new original experience |

Thank you for welcoming us so warmly in your nice city and for organising the conference.
It was my third conference, each time you remember the last one and try to anticipate the next according to the remembrace of the last. Fortunately it's each time a new original experience, or it wouldn't be worth travelling anymore...

Sorry to be that late (I am travelling). I second that, like everybody who wrote before me.
And yes, every IAML conference is memorable, like Michael says.
Must be because IAML people have a special touch? I'm starting considering it's true.
Every time I find the organizers at once professional, friendly, easy, cheerful, cooperative.
But this time the conference was also a 'monstre conference': I never saw, so many people before.
So, double congratulations to all the incredibly calm, effective, cool, but always merry staff.
Bravissimi! |

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Hanneke Kuiper and the all
members of the organisation comittee for their outstanding hospitality and
for the perfectly organized conference in Amsterdam. It was really
wonderful to be there.
Thanks for all.
Love from Turkey! |

Dear all,
IAML conferences are, each in its own very special way, informative, pleasant, friendly. In other words, useful and and memorable. The Amsterdam conference was no different from that respect, yet very different as every conference is different.

I'd like to echo all those thanks, particularly for the Andriessen concert which has transformed my view of the composer. It was great to be with the IMS again.

Difficult to be original, so I only say: Low country, high level.

I would like to second that! Great professional as well as social
programme and obliging service. Every detail was carefully thought of.
Thank you very much!
Kind regards,

Couldn't agree more. It was a great week, with lots of interesting sessions. So be proud and relax now that it is all over!
Best wishes to all members of the hard working organising group. |

Eh, Antony has just preceded me: fascinating town, splendid location, everything perfect. It has been a great week!
I am happy to echo his congratulations
