Meals
In order to enhance the interaction and exchange between participants,
all participants are requested to have lunch and dinner together.
The conference has arranged with a caterer to serve lunch and dinner
in the Château Royal de Blois.
For participants, the package cost for 5 days
will be 300 euros and
should be paid to the caterer upon arrival at the conference site;
since this is a specially negotiated "package deal" for the conference,
it cannot be reduced for partial attendance
For accompanying persons, there are two
possibilities only (in either case, payment should be made to the caterer
upon arrival at the conference site):
- either: lunch and dinner at the castle, with the participants - the package cost for 5 days will be 300 euros
- or: just dinner at the castle - after some negotiation, the caterer has agreed that accompanying persons (only) need not return to the castle for lunch; in this case the package cost for 4 dinners will be 150 euros (note that the conference banquet is covered by the registration fee).
