Welcome drinks reception and dinner in the hotel restaurant 

As the sessions close on the conference opening day, the welcome drinks reception is the perfect way to network and unwind with fellow delegates. After drinks we invite you to dine in the hotel restaurant with your colleagues and fellow delegates.
