This meeting will take place in Dresden, one of the most beautiful cities of Germany. The Elbe and the gently rolling landscape between Saxon Switzerland and Meissen determine the nature in which the city on the river is embedded. The climate is equally beneficial for the development of the arts and for viniculture. The inhabitants are known for their own special charm, Saxon hospitality is proverbial. At the same time Dresden is a modern city with the flair of the former Saxon residence, simply a place with life style.
In the last year Dresden was “Stadt der Wissenschaft - City of Science” with many interesting events in science and technology. Furthermore the city celebrated a jubilee of getting 800 years old.
The meeting will occur in the First-Class Hotel Elbflorenz. The Hotel is situated in the World Trade Center Dresden, near the Historic Center of Dresden, with many possibilities for shopping and enjoying culture.
