With nearly 200 delegates from all parts of the UK in attendance, there was a busy round of digital media coverage, while more is yet to come for those lucky delegates heading for the \u2018Orkney Opportunity\u2019, another few days of heritage and art investigations hosted by the Orkney Islands Council that begins tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The entire event was also made possible \u2013 and more accessible and cost-effective \u2013 thanks to the School\u2019s main sponsors, CgMS, and critical support from English Heritage, Historic Scotland, as well as a host of exhibitors, sponsors and friends of the School.\u00a0 Details of all are available on the IHBC\u2019s School website, which will be archived once the presentations are posted.<\/p>\n
