About the
9th International Congress
of the F.M. Alexander Technique
The Congress will be held between the 7th and the 13th of August 2011 in ⇒Lugano, Switzerland.
We are delighted to invite you to the 9th International Congress
with the theme of
Learning from Each Other
The Congress will be focused on exchanging practical information between colleagues to better our professional skills, as well as bringing in experts who will illuminate and expand our understanding of the Alexander Technique in the larger world.
The 2008 Congress was a success with close to 600 attendees, providing once again the opportunity for a center in the world of Alexander Technique teachers to meet and share their skills with each other.
We are happy to be returning to Lugano, because of the generous hospitality of the Lugano Tourist Board who are enabling us to keep the costs of a large gathering within a reasonable price range with a very favorable Swiss tax advantage. We will be researching possibilities of low cost accommodations.
⇒Lugano is wonderfully situated to begin a tour of the Swiss Italian hill towns of Ticino, as well as to continue into Italy with close access to the historic Italian cities of Milan, Verona, and Venice, among many others. Lugano is ⇒easily reached through the intercontinental airports of Milan and Zurich, and many low cost European airlines fly into the area.
We will be updating this website with information on particular speakers and workshop presenters as we assemble our program.
We look forward very much to seeing you in Lugano in August 2011.
Yours truly,
Irmel Weber

Congress Ethos
In the spirit of the International Alexander Congresses, we value the many approaches to the learning and teaching of Alexander’s work.
Registration for a Congress implies agreement to participate in this spirit of mutual respect, and agreement not to demean the person or work of other participants.
We ask all those enrolling for their participation in fostering a supportive atmosphere where diversity is encouraged and respectful dialogue enjoyed.
