One of the main aims is the teaching of Dutch as a foreign language (Nederlands als Vreemde Taal), but since the conference theme is 'Dutch in conversation with...', delegates are welcome to deliver a paper on any topic concerning Dutch and a combined interest. 

Venue and Registration:

The conference will be held at the Black Mountain Hotel (www.blackmountainhotel.co.za) which also offers accommodation during the event. Accommodation costs are estimated at ZAR 878 per night. The conference venue is located outside of Bloemfontein, the capital of the Orange Free State province.

The conference fee, also payable in South African Rand, will cost ZAR 1500. The congress fee will include teas and meals during the conference as well as the gala dinner.
