This is to be held on Saturday 26 September 1998 in the Lecture Theatre of the National Army Museum, Royal Hospital Road, Chelsea, London. Admission to both the museum and the conference is free to all readers of Age of Napoleon.

Readers of this magazine will notice one or two familiar names in the lineup of speakers. The programme has been designed to incorporate a mix of British subjects plus a session looking at the German side of the period, with a section on the Battle of Austerlitz. This will complement very nicely the recent spate of interesting articles in the magazine on German and Austrian subjects.
