Venue
Baveno is an enchanting little town on the shore of Lake Maggiore, near Stresa. It faces the romantic Borromean Islands and backs to the green hills surrounding the lake. This town of about 5,000 residents has seen a very long history, stretching from Roman times, and it is the traditional venue of this Conference since 1990. For centuries, the town has been a popular destination for travelers and artists alike, thanks to its strategic location on Lake Maggiore and its artistic setting that inspired countless painters and poets.
The Baveno Conference will be hosted at the Grand Hotel Dino, in Baveno, on Lake Maggiore, Italy, a 4 star hotel providing conference halls, meeting rooms, restaurant service and accommodation for over 300 people. The official PCO of the Conference, SMC Media Srl, has pre-booked all necessary meeting spaces and rooms to secure your stay. Baveno is, in fact, a small village with a limited hotel offering apart from the Dino group hotels.
The plenary room "Orione", the exhibition and poster area, and the spaces for catering are located on the garden floor, which can be accessed from the hotel lobby via a descending staircase.
