On behalf of AFEA, ERA and ERASMUS, the Greek members of IAPCO, we are delighted to invite you to the IAPCO EDGE Seminar Athens, on 17-19 January 2017.

We are inspired by IAPCO’s vision to create advanced conference management skills and establish an advanced understanding of how the industry collaborates and operates.

Why Athens? Athens, a vibrant and modern European capital, situated at the foothills of Acropolis and a few miles away from the seaside, is a perfect location for international meetings and events. Easily accessible from every part of the world, it is considered to be one of the safest cities, providing abundant modern hotel accommodation and boasting an excellent metro network and overall transportation system. A good combination of fine weather throughout the year and warm hospitality, is what makes this city worth visiting for sightseeing, excursions and technical visits. Moreover, Greece is host to important knowledge centres, notably in academia and research, especially in the bio-sciences field, thus becoming a clever choice for international events that aim, among others, at increased attendance.

With these in mind, we invite you to follow the steps of ancient Greek philosophers and join us in Athens for a unique educational opportunity and an acquaintance with our city’s great meeting potential.
