The Congress will start in the evening of Thursday, September 25, 2008 with a welcome cocktail in the congress hotel (see below) and run thru Saturday September 27 to finish with the gala dinner:

There is the opportunity for delegates to take an optional tour (at additional cost) to an Estancia (ranch) on the Argentinian pampas on Sunday September 28.

At the start of the Congress, those delegates and companions who have participated in the Pre Congress Tour will join those arriving directly from their home locations.

The Congress hotel is the Caesar Park Hotel
(www.caesar-park.com) located in the Recoleta district of the city. This district is known for its rich cultural and historical heritage, having been remodelled in the 1880’s to reflect European grandeur. It houses parks, outdoor bars and restaurants and a large modern shopping centre that is directly across the street from the hotel.

It is a five star hotel with only some 175 bedrooms, but all necessary facilities including an extensive fitness centre (including indoor pool) and spa, as well as comprehensive business centre are available.
