RIGA AND JELGAVA, LATVIA - Michael Mehaffy, Executive Director of the Lennard Institute for Livable Cities, reports that all flights and other forms of travel are operating very smoothly in Latvia and across Europe. Mehaffy and fellow board member Jim Brainard just returned from a series of preparatory meetings in the two cities. Mehaffy also recorded a "practicalities video" showing travel logistics, hotel options, dining, and other potential activities for conference attendees.


The conference will begin on Monday, July 6th in Riga, the capital city, with a series of presentations, discussions and study tours. On Tuesday, July 7th, the conference attendees will be taken by bus to the nearby city of Jelgava and the beautiful Jelgava Palace, the venue for the bulk of the conference.


Mehaffy reports that the hosts could not be more gracious and welcoming, the cities are beautiful and fascinating, and the venues are stunning - as the video shows. Attendees are in for a real treat, he says.
