Our conference in 2009 was held in south Wales, and run in partnership with Dehongli Cymru/Interpret Wales. The programme looked at the impact of interpretation in regenerating places and engaging communities in Wales and across the world. We’re delighted to make papers from the conference available for download: each paper’s title is linked to a pdf file. Our thanks to all speakers at the event.

If you find the papers stimulating, come along to this year’s event, which is sure to be just as lively!
