XVI SOROPTIMIST
INTERNATIONAL
CONVENTION
HELSINKI FINLAND

4 - 8 July 1999

Tomorrow's Global Voice

    Convention Venue

Finlandia Hall was designed by master architect Alvar Aalto and it is located in a parklike setting right in the downtown area. Next to it lies the beautiful Gulf of Töölö and during the programma breaks the visitors can enjoy strolls in the nearby parks.
The main building of the Hall will be reserved exclusively for Soroptimists and the bright and open foyers leave space for informative displays.
Most conveniently, Finlandia Hall is within easy walking distance from most of the convention hotels. Both the Pre- and Post-Convention Soroptimist International Board meetings will be held at the official convention hotel - Hotel Inter-Continental.

    Soroptimist Friendship Lounge

A Soroptimist Friendship lounge will be available to attendees in Finlandia Hall during the Convention and will be an area in which you may meet your friends.

    Convention Language

The working language of the Convention will be English. Translation equipment will be provided for those Federations requesting its use.
