I’d like to thank our Annual Meeting sponsors:* Keynote Presentation Sponsor National Geographic, President’s Reception Sponsor Getty Conservation Institute, and our official Airline Sponsor EgyptAir. Thank you as well as to our keynote speaker, George Herbert, 8th Earl of Carnarvon, for helping us to mark this special centennial year celebrating the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun.
