In keeping with the overall theme of "A World Wide
View on Breastfeeding", the date for the 2008 VELB /
ILCA Conference was chosen to coincide with the European
celebration of World Breastfeeding Week. The organizers
also attempted to take into consideration a number of
other factors to facilitate participation for many
IBCLCs and other professionals. They secured the dates
at the conference venue outside the high season for
flights, not coinciding with major local events and thus
not during the season of highest hotel prices, yet still
in a season appropriate for traveling.
The organizers understand that the partial overlap with
some national and religious holidays may complicate the
decision to attend the conference. For those who want to
observe Rosh Hoshana [29.09 - 01.10] or Eid al Fitr
[02.10.08] in Vienna our
Conference
Office can supply contact details for the relevant
religious communities.
