The lunch will be served in a room direct beside the conference and exhibition area. Take the opportunity to chat and connect with peers, speakers and the exhibitors.

15:30 Unconferencing group event

This session is adapted from a traditional ‘unconference’ in which  delegates set the agenda. You will be invited to nominate one of 6 topics for debate in an informal meeting. The format will be familiar to anyone who has ever visited Speakers’ Corner in London, famous for enabling passionate protest speech or promotion of contrarian views.

We invite you to a fabulous boat trip on the river Ill. You'll get lovely views of Strasbourg's beautiful architecture - houses, churches, public buildings, parks - as you circle the island. Enjoy the Petite France district alongside the Ill and in the streets and squares surrounding the cathedral.

Meeting Point: European Parliament

Boat Trip

Guided tour through the old Strasbourg: 20:00 – 21:30

Strasbourg mixes medieval charm with a dynamic, contemporary and international feel. At its heart is a fortified medieval town packed with ancient relics, from Place Kléber (the main square) to Place Gutenberg. At the centre, soaring over everything, is the gothic Notre-Dame Cathedral, notable for its pink sandstone façade and unique tower. And nearby La Petite France is the medieval quarter’s stunning crown jewel. Its picturesque bridges and canals, half-timbered houses and charming narrow streets contrast sharply with the modern clean-cut lines of the European institutions in the northeast of the city.

Meeting point(s):

  • Group 1: Meeting Point: Exhibition area, Hilton Conference Hotel
  • Group 2: Boat Landing Place (European Parliament)

While the official conference part is over at about 21:30, enjoy the evening in Strasbourg with your conference peers. We’ll have a restaurant listing in the exhibition area posted. There you can make appointments with others or you can check out who will be dining where. Join, network, enjoy! Note that no tables have been reserved by the conference organizers!
