Lisbon,
25th-27th June 2009
The European Section hosted the 2009 Annual Meeting in Lisboa, Portugal under the Presidency of Dr. Antonio Tavares, former Regent for Portugal. Dr. Tavares became President at the 53rd Annual Meeting Annual Meeting in Athens in June 2008.
Many FICDs remember well the 1992 Meeting, held in Villamoura in the Algarve, when Dr. Gil Alcoforado (Senior) was President - the last Meeting to be held in Portugal and some even attended both meetings.
