Kindly note that there will be some walking and we reccommend to bring good walking shoes. This is especially important regarding the guided city walk on Thursday Oct 9th. The guided tour will last for approx. 2 hours. Walking distance between location of the conference dinner and Best Western hotel President is roughly 1 hour walk. We are looking into the possibility to provide transportation after dinner, but this is not yet confirmed.
