Opening Night Reception

Sunday, 5 October 2008
18.15 – 20.15

Start your conference off with colleagues and cocktails at the Opening Night Reception while you enjoy breathtaking views of Rome during sunset. This reception will take place at the Villa Miani, a gorgeous Victorian style mansion set high up on the slope of Monte Mario in the middle of the Rome City Center. Please note that we will be starting earlier this year to allow you to enjoy the beautiful Roman sunset and to give you enough time to take in the sights of downtown Rome when the reception is over. Don’t forget your camera!

Transportation to and from the Villa Miani from the Rome Marriott Park Hotel will be provided. Please note that the travel time is approximately 35 minutes each way.
