Bridges to Excellence, Barcelona 2008

Bridges to Excellence was the 4th joint international conference between AQR and QRCA and feedback from some of the 160+ delegates report it as being the best so far. There were lots of really great papers both in terms of content and presentation. The venue, Hotel Rey Juan Carlos in Barcelona, was superb with the hotel being top class and Barcelona an excellent choice as the destination city. These photos from the event were taken by conference delegate Kevin McLean, a director of Wardle McLean:
