The Romanian Society for Quality Assurance took over this tradition, by organizing the third edition of the Conference at Hotel ‘Roman’ from Baile Herculane, in September 1996. The fifth edition was organized in the period 28th – 30th of October 1998, in Sinaia; the sixth edition of the Conference was organized in 1999, the 22nd – 24th of October, at Hotel ‘Sport’ from Poiana Brasov, and in 2000, between 27th – 29th of September, the seventh edition was organized, at Hotel ‘Palace’ from Sinaia. The eighth edition of the Conference, CCF 2002, was organized at the Cazino from Sinaia, in the period 18th-20th of September 2002 and it enjoyed the presence of distinguished guests from abroad and well-known specialists from Romania.
