“Best in Heritage” Conference @ Dubrovnik, Croatia, 27 – 29 September 2012

I am interested and impressed by the idea, an annual conference based around awards to heritage projects that have already won awards, a sort of "best of the best".The programme is here http://www.thebestinheritage.com/conference/programme/
I am still a little sketchy on their critieria but their instructions to the speakers gives some clues
