== About the meeting- ==
The 6th International Mountmakers Forum was held in London at the Natural History Museum from September 25-27, 2018. Over 200 mountmakers and allied professionals from around the world attended this three day conference full of talks, tours, posters and events. The first day included ten thought-provoking main talks at the Imperial College, followed by a wonderful evening event held at the Natural History Museum's Darwin Centre Cocoon. The second day was held at Natural History London and offered twelve posters, tours of the NHM's shops, plus a new feature: short talks! This format proved to be very popular, so we hope to see it continue into future Forums! The third day offered a mind-dizzying eleven different tour choices at institutions both in London and Oxford. A truly international, informative and successful gathering!
