Belgian Evening – 19.30 - 23.00 hrs, Thursday, June 5

The congress organisers intend not to organise a classic Gala Dinner but to invite all congress participants to a big surprise evening called the ‘Belgian Evening’. The purpose is to gather informally with local drinks and food and good music. It will be a walking dinner with a lot of enjoyment and entertainment. The historic and impressive Belfry of Brugge will be the perfect setting for the ‘Belgian Evening’. The official carillon player of the city of Brugge will welcome us with a private aperitif concert.

This evening is included in the registration fee for participants (pre-registration is mandatory). Partners can register at the following rates:

Early (until 31/03): 80,00 € – Late (until 14/05): 90,00 € – At the venue: 100,00 €
