More than 40 countries and occupations were represented by the invitation-only attendance in an event that spanned four days of scheduled events, and the organisers believe that a far better focus was achieved this year in the various discussion forums - with real initiatives being produced to tackle issues such as artist tax and a pan-European 'event safety guide'.

For the benefit of those who weren't able to make the trip to ILMC 2000 1/4 (and those who DID but found themselves stuck in a corridor somewhere when they should have been in the meetings...) this centre contains pretty well everything you need to know about this edition of the conference:

• session chairmens' reports
• a day-by-day photorial,
• industry press coverage
• Arthur Awards results
• and the definitive Pollstar Review - a blow-by-blow account of the whole weekend from the pen of Camilla Phelps.

Further information can be found in the ILMC Centre on The Axis - including a detailed schedule in the 'Conference Guide'.
