EUROHISTORY: New Conference in London!

Following the successful hosting of our royal weekend in The Hague, Eurohistory and Hoogstraten English Bookstore with Rosvall Royal Books, have joined forces with esteemed royal expert Ian Shapiro to begin a yearly conference series in London!
The event, co-chaired by Ian Shapiro and Arturo Beéche, will gather at the offices of SPINKS (near the British Museum) on April 25–26, 2015.
With our joint expertise, we have asked several notable writers to present lectures for the enjoyment of the audience. These talented authors include: Stefano Papi, Ilana D. Miller, Janet Ashton, Katie Tice, Katrina Warne,Ted Rosvall and Arturo Beéche. Several other writers and well-known authors have been invited to participate. As soon as we hear from them we will make an appropriate announcement.
Cost information will also be forthcoming. We are trying to price the event at an affordable rate similar to the one we charged at Royal Gatherings in The Hague.
For further information, do not hesitate to contact us at: books@eurohistory.com, kwarne12@gmail.com or aebeeche@mac.com
We are extremely excited about the sea of opportunity open to us and hope that Royal Gatherings in London will achieve the same level of success of Eurohistory’s yearly royalty conference in the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as that witnessed in Royal Gatherings in The Hague!
See you in London!
