Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy

Europe Pacific Conference

Tuesday 7 January - Tuesday 14 January 2025


If there is one conference destination we know better than any other, it is Cortina d'Ampezzo. This is where the first ever CPE Conference took place in January 1994, and we are proud to be returning here for our 26th conference in January 2025. It should come as no surprise that the Cortina conferences have long been so successful. This stunning part of the Italian mountains hosted the 1956 Winter Olympics, and will do so again in 2026. With our conference hotel located on the ski slopes (it is in fact the only ski-in ski-out hotel in the valley), it takes little time to make your way from the conference room onto the slopes. With newly added ski lifts, the conference hotel Villa Argentina is now connected to most of the valley’s slopes - explore the full map of the ski lifts and slopes here (the hotel is located in Pocol next to the Olimpia slope - number 14).

For skiers, the Olympic and World Cup runs as well as many intermediate and beginner runs are accessible directly from the conference hotel (walk 20 metres across the carpark, click on your skis and go!). There are shuttle buses throughout Cortina to reach other nearby Dolomiti areas. You can take the shuttle to Passo Falzarego, get the cable car up to almost 3000 metres, then ski an impressive run to the bottom where a farmer with horse and sleigh gives you a rope tow to the next village. Cross-country skiing starts at Fiames, where a special track made on the old railway line, takes you almost to the Austrian border.

For non-skiers there is equally a plethora of activities. The ski bus will take you to various cable cars where you can travel to the top of the Dolomites for lunch. You can shop and lunch in down- town Cortina or dine at the many easily accessible trattoria’s on the snow, go for a horse and sleigh ride, ice skate in the former Olympic stadium, participate in a guided snow walk, watch an ice hockey game and take in the arts and crafts of the main street. Alternatively, you can just relax in the wonderful alpine, snow-drenched ambience that is Cortina.

Medical Accreditation & Agenda

This conferences will take place over the duration of a full week with 4 academic days, each with a minimum of 4 hours of academic content each day (making a minimum total of 16 hours for the entire conference). The academic agenda is released on the first day of the conference, in order to provide the diversity and local input that are an important aspect of our conferences. Often local presenters are unable to commit to a specific session time months in advance. We believe (and indeed our feedback reflects) that the local presenters and field trips add immeasurable value to the academic experience and as such we want to preserve our ability to include them. After each conference you will be provided with a Certificate of Attendance and the academic agenda for your records.
