XVI Numismatic Congress Warsaw

About six years in the future, a major numismatic congress is scheduled to be held in Warsaw:

Much has been made of the academic numismatic conferences held in Poland in the archaeological blogosphere. While suspicion on the part of collectors and their advocates is perhaps natural, given the hostility of that blogosphere toward their activities and interests, it is nevertheless true that knowledge is neutral and ought to be regarded as being beneficial to all.

Hopefully this conference will focus upon advancing numismatic science, without pursuing any partisan agenda.
