As noted above, the second World Conference took place in Pennsylvania in 1937. The first had been held in the U.K. in 1920. The third was held in Oxford, U.K. in 1952 and the fourth in Greensboro, North Carolina, U.S.A. in 1967. A World Conference will be held at Nairobi in Kenya in 2012 in lieu of triennial gathering in 2010. In future Plenary Meetings may not be held on a Triennial basis.
