There is a 3 day symposium on Amenhotep III starting next Saturday 3rd March at the Mummification Museum. It will be during the day but I do not yet have a programme.
Hopefully I will rectify that tonight and will post more details once I have them.
Attendance will be open to the public.

I now have the full programme for the symposium.
The full title is:
In Search for New Concepts and Technologies for Conservation and Preservation of the Colossi of Memnon & The Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III

It is now to be held at LUXOR MUSEUM.
On Saturday 3rd March the public lectures will be 10am until 5pm with a lunch break 2 - 3pm. These will be opened by HE Mohamed Ibrahim Ali, Minister of State for Antiquities (MSA)
On Sunday 4th March the public lectures will be from 3 - 5pm
On Monday 5th March the public lectures will be 10am to 5pm with a lunch break 12 - 3pm

The schedule for Saturday 3rd March may vary according to the Minister's Schedule.

Having read the full list of speakers and topics, I think this is going to be very interesting.
