According to E Carbajo, secretario del grupo de trabajo WPSA Ratites and presidente organizador del 3er Symposium Cientifico, the next symposium is to move to another venue while the dates remain unchanged. This is due to the distance between the El Escorial venue to Madrid Airport and Madrid DC (50 km). The organizing committee have decided select a new venue and a new philosophy in Madrid Ratite Events (3rd Symposium XII Congreso Mundial y Expostrich) with the same date (October 14-16).
You can consult all new changes on web: [http://www.woc2005.com] and information about registration fee payment, hotels and prices and venue facilities will be published on web soon.
