As of today, registration for the IMC in Leeds is open, and there is even a late call for papers. Registration will remain open until May 14.

I've been to the IMC once, and it was an utterly glorious time (even though it was clearly not an archaeology-heavy conference). This year, it is on July 3-6, and the special thematic strand is "Otherness". If that tickles your fancy, and you can go there, I can heartily recommend it - the IMC is a huge, huge thing and a really interesting experience, with the opportunity to meet lots and lots of people from different mediaevistic strands of research. (Also, you have the IMC to thank or blame, for the fact that the Beast actually got finished at some point in time.)

If you'd like to know more about the conference, you can read the latest newsletter on their site with all the information necessary, or if you've already decided to go, venture straight to the registration page.
