Brill reception Coffee break American Ethnologist presentation This section aims to give you practical help with attending EASA2014, navigating the book and the venue, and being in Tallinn, and Estonia, this week. The colourful Timetable on the inside front cover gives a quick overview of when receptions, plenaries, panel sessions and other events are taking place. The Events and meetings section is ordered chronologically and gives detail on the activities taking place this week besides the core academic programme, including the Welcome reception and keynote, network meetings, entertainment, the banquet etc. The full programme is detailed in the Daily timetable section which shows what is happening and where, at any given moment in chronological sequence. This section has been improved (from previous models of conference programmes) to offer more information on parallel panels. We hope it will prove more useful; the NomadIT team would appreciate any feedback you have on this, either in person or by email afterwards. The Plenary, panel and paper abstracts section provides the actual abstracts, listing panels by reference. The panels' list starts off with Invited Panels (the reference is IP), which are those panels which were given special invited status by the Scientific Committee for their innovative and exciting take on the conference theme. Similar abstract sections for the laboratories and film programmes follow. At the rear of the book there is a List of participants to help you identify the panels and labs in which particular colleagues will convene/discuss/present their work. Following this 'index' there are the Publisher advertisements, and then a Conference planner. This blank grid aims to help you plan your conference schedule by giving space for you to note down which panels/labs you wish to go to when, creating your personal conference timetable. Finally you'll find the venue and city maps on the rear cover. If you need any help interpreting the information in the conference book, please ask one of the conference team at the reception desk. Panels have been allocated one to three 90-minute sessions, according to their size (the rule of thumb at EASA conferences is to have four papers per session). We have panels of all sizes; however, there are only two panel sessions on Thursday 31st July and Saturday 2nd August, while Friday 1st August and Sunday 3rd August have three panel sessions. On Thursday, the first session starts at 14:00, the second at 16:00. On all other days, the first two sessions start at 9:00 and 11:00 respectively. On Friday and Sunday the third and final session of the day commences at 16:00, with the Plenaries taking place at 14:00, so there is a longer break between the second and third panel sessions. This is a large conference -we are using up to 37 rooms at a time, so any one panel/lab is up against that number of alternatives. The times of each panel/lab are shown in the respective abstract section and also indicated in the Daily timetable. If you are very interested to hear a particular paper/presentation but do not wish to sit through the whole panel/ lab, we recommend you check with the running order and/or the convenors at the start of the panel/lab to find out when the paper will actually be presented. Tallinn University is located in the centre of Tallinn, in close proximity to Kadriorg Park and the harbour areas in the Tallinn Bay. Most of the buildings that house facilities for study, research and creative activities at Tallinn University are located along Narva Road that leads straight from the heart of Tallinn towards the Kadriorg Park. Tallinn University buildings are known by their Latin names, symbolizing different values important to the university that was founded in 2005 as a result of a merger of a number of public and private research and educational institutes. Terra (Latin: the earth -represents long academic traditions and the setting of standards for oneself) is the main and oldest building in Tallinn University; it was built for the Tallinn English College in 1938. Nova (Latin: new -represents revitalization and progressive development) is a home for Baltic Film and Media School. Mare (Latin: a sea -represents freedom and openness) is spacious and full of light; it was designed to allow sunlight to reach 80% of the rooms. Astra (Latin: a star -represents the relentless pursuit and achievement of goals) is the latest addition to the university. This building is symbolized by laboratories. Silva (Latin: a forest -represents researchers and scientists -like the forest giants, they are upright pillars of society) was completed in 1982 and is a typical example of Soviet architecture. The EASA2014 panel sessions will be held in four Tallinn University campus buildings that are all interconnected: Mare, Astra, Terra and Silva; the Film Programme will be shown in the Supernova Cinema Hall in the Nova building. The room references for panels, laboratories, plenaries and other meetings begin with the first letter of the building in which the room is located, followed by the room number. The first digit of the room number indicates the floor. Hence those starting with 1 are on the ground floor (from the British perspective), etc. So M-137 is on the ground floor of the Mare building, S-233 is on the first floor of Silva, T-305 is on the second floor of Terra, etc. All this is much easier/more logical if one uses the Estonian (and American) perspective where the ground floor is termed the first floor. Apart from the pre-existing campus signs there will be additional conference signage giving directions to all rooms and facilities. The Daily timetable and the abstract sections in the book indicate the locations being used for all the events and panel/lab sessions. If you have any problems finding your way around, please ask a member of the conference team for assistance, checking their nationality first if asking about floors! The conference organisers' (NomadIT) office is in the Astra foyer (Room 108) just next to the Reception area and Publisher space. The keynote lecture (and welcome reception) on Thursday 31st July is the only academic event of the conference that is taking place not at Tallinn University but at the Estonia Concert Hall (Estonia puiestee 4) in the centre of Tallinn. The Jugend-classicistic theatre building designed by Finnish architects Armas Lindgren and Wivi Lönn was the largest building in early 20th century Tallinn. One side of the two-wing building was intended for a theatre and the other for a concert hall, as is also the case today. Estonia Concert Hall is the premier venue in Tallinn for classical music, gala receptions and the home of the national concert organiser Eesti Kontsert; the other half of the twin building is the opera house. Practical information cheaper taxis need to be ordered by phone and as those companies have fewer taxis, they may sometimes not be able to provide a car at once.

This is the full version of my speech in the Opening Ceremony of Barcelona Annual Meeting September 5, 2018. It is the best summary of the most important recent developments on the EAA and also a good text to launch the 25th Anniversary of the EAA that we will celebrate in 2019. When being next year in Bern (Switzerland) EAA will be just 25 years old.
