Word, in French, of the upcoming conference in Belgium, on April 16th and 17th:
Ce colloque a lieu chaque année en Belgique, à Engreux, petit village perdu dans les Ardennes belges. Dans la salle de classe unique de l’école du village, entourée de cochons et de lapins géants des Flandres.
Ici se réunissent les spécialistes de la question pour présenter des conférences sur les dernières recherches ou expéditions. Ce colloque est ouvert à tout public curieux, et bien sûr à tout conférencier potentiel.
Pour s’inscrire, il faut se rendre sur le site de l’ABEPAR qui sera bientôt en ligne.

About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
There’s also another cryptozoological conference in Berlin, Germany, from 23. to 25. September 2011 hosted by the german cryptozoological magazine Der Kryptozoologie-Report (DKR). Speakers will include Michael Schneider (Author and operator of Kryptozoologie.net), Markus Hemmler (Author and operator of Kryptozoologie-Online.de), Natale Cincinnati (Ethnologist), Tobias Möser (Ichthyologist) and Francois de Sarre (Ichthyologist).
The exact contents may not yet be named but they include such topics as globsters, sea serpents, basic scientific methods in (cryptozoological) field work, Out-of-place animals as a cryptozoological category, cryptozoology in germany, europe and worldwide and much more.
For the last day, there is the possibility to visit a guided tour through the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin (Berlin Museum of Natural History).
