8th Easter Island Conference

The 8th Easter Island and Pacific Conference took place in Santa Rosa, California in July 2012, offering academics and Rapanui-philes from all over the world the chance to gather and listen to 3 days of papers and presentations by some of the world's leading authorities on Easter Island and the Pacific region.


A wonderful opportunity to learn more about this fascinating multifaceted island, the conference also included papers by 2 of the island's own students, Merahi Lopez Atan and Cristian Moreno Pakarati.  It was also an excellent chance to catch up and discuss the island with old friends who visit the island far too seldom:


The 9th Easter island Conference is due to take place in Berlin, Germany in July 2015.  More information will soon be available from: www.9th-eip-conference.org
