Icebreaker
A icebreaker drink, sponsored by Taylor and Francis will take place on the evening of September 15th, the first full day of the conference, at Irchel campus (the conference location).
Conference Banquet
The conference banquet will take place on Zurich's very own "Hausberg", Uetliberg at the Uto Kulm restaurant. The restaurant is reached by a train ride from Zurich of around 20 minutes (included in your conference registration), followed by a walk of 10 minutes or so along a track through the woods. Make sure you have a rain jacket with you, and we don't recommend wearing high heels!
Many thanks to ESRI, whose sponsorship enabled us also to offer the conference dinner to those of you with student registrations.
