Gala Evening
This year our gala evening promises to be a truly outstanding evening again. We are all going to meet at the palatial Casino de Madrid on Sunday 27 October. The Casino de Madrid was
founded in 1836 when a group of young romantics and progressive liberals decided to search out a quiet place to meet up in peace and harmony away from the frenetic world of politics. The significance of its artistic collection led the Casino de Madrid to
be officially declared as a building of National Cultural Interest in 1993.
The evening will start with a standing dinner in the main reception room of the casino. The catering will be provided by Paco Roncero who is a 2 Michelin star chef. Roncero's scientific approach to the culinary arts comes from his years working under Ferran Adrià, the founder of gastronomic mecca el Bulli. Read more about the molecular gastronomy used by Roncero in his innovative cooking at El Pais.
After this amazing culinary experience we will move to a different part of the Casino de Madrid for a fun disco night party… we will let you discover just what the word Fiesta really means!

Accomodation
We recommend you book your accomodation as soon as possible. There are only 3 hotels close to the Congress Venue and they offer a limited number of rooms for the Congress dates (you can download reservation forms for those 3 hotels hereunder).
Alternatively you could stay near Nuevos Ministerios which is a more central part of Madrid with a direct subway line to the Venue and Airport. As in Madrid the public transportation is easy and cheap, there are other hotel areas that could also be nice options but not included in the provided list of hotels (Gran Via, Puerta del Sol, etc).
