Following on from the success of the first Conference in 2004, the Second International Conference on Current Research into Survival of Physical Death with Special Reference to ITC will be held at the Auditorium of the Caixanova Social Centre in Vigo, Spain, on the 28th to the 30th April 2006. The term ‘ITC’ includes Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) together with claimed spirit communications through other electronic media such as radios, television sets, fax machines, computers and telephones. The Conference, which once again is non profit-making, will be held under the auspices of the ITC Journal and will feature presentations by a number of leading European and US authorities on ITC such as Daniele Gullà, Dr. Sinesio Darnell, Hans-Otto König, Dr. Anabela Cardoso, Professor Ernst Senkowski, Professor Mario Festa, and Sylvia Hart-Wright. Also included will be contributions on other aspects of research into survival from Professor David Fontana, Dr. Enrico Marabini, Mario Varvoglis, Dr. Alexander Trofimov, Dr. Walter von Lucadou, Jean Pierre Girard, and Dr. Peter Fenwick. Registration forms and further details of the Conference will be available from July 2005 by post from the

CONFERENCE DETAILS
The aim of the Conference will be to present details both of new developments and new evidence in ITC research, and to draw attention to some of the most important breakthroughs in the subject made in previous years. It will for example include presentations detailing the way in which scientific advances in acoustic and image analysis have further confirmed the paranormality of ITC phenomena, and will be suitable both for experienced researchers and for those new to the subject. Presentations will also include details on ITC methodology, on new research initiatives, and on the extent to which recent results in ITC further strengthen the case for survival of physical death. In addition, presentations will include insights into the nature of an afterlife provided by ITC communicators.

Conference Venue and Timing
As with the First International Conference, the venue will be the main auditorium in the Caixanova Social Centre in Vigo, one of the finest conference complexes in Europe. The Conference is non-residential, but details of good convenient hotels that have agreed to offer special rates for those attending the Conference will be supplied to those registering, together with information on Vigo as a city and of transport to and from Vigo to adjacent airports. The Conference will commence at 12.15 hours on Friday April 28th and conclude at 18.10 hours on Sunday April 30th, and in total there will be over 20 hours of Conference presentations.

Conference Programme
The Conference programme will be devoted to invited presentations from leading experts and researchers. Where appropriate recorded extracts of ITC communications, received under controlled conditions, will be played, and guidance will be given on how to analyse results using computer software. It will be emphasised that although many important advances have been made in ITC methodology and analysis, ITC experimentation is open to all, and that little is required in the way of equipment or of technical expertise.

Official Languages
The official languages of the Conference will be Spanish and English, with simultaneous translation facilities provided for all participants. As some of the most important work in ITC research is currently being conducted in Italy, some of the presentations will also be in Italian, and again simultaneous translations (into both English and Spanish) will be provided for all.

Registration Fees
The Conference is non profit-making, and the registration fee has been kept to an absolute minimum necessary to cover the expenses of the invited speakers. The fee for the whole Conference will be 135 Euros, while for those wishing to attend only for individual days the fee will be 40 Euros for Friday, 65 Euros for Saturday, and 50 Euros for Sunday. As places are limited, preference will be given to those wishing to attend the whole Conference. For those who book six weeks before the Conference (i.e. who register before March 14th), the fee for the whole Conference will be 120 Euros. The registration fee will include the usual information folder giving details of the presenters, conference abstracts, and a list of participants, together with coffee and tea during the morning and afternoon breaks.
