Positano, Amalfi Coast, Italy
Europe Asia Conference
Monday 10 June - Monday 17 June 2024
With our first conference in Positano dating back over 20 years, this has long been one of our most popular conference destinations. It is not difficult to see why: the dramatic cliffs of this coastal region have created breathtakingly beautiful villages, where the buildings appear to be piled on top of one another. Caught between towering mountains and the azure blue sea, the town of Positano boasts spectacular architecture that draws in travellers from all over the world.
The Europe Asia Conference will take place in close proximity to Positano, at the Grand Hotel Tritone. Dramatically positioned on the edge of the cliffs that define the coastline of this region, the hotel boasts spectacular views of Capri, Positano and the archipelago of Li Galli. Outside of the conferences you can make use of the two swimming pools and private beach, enjoy dinner with sublime sea views, book a private boat tour, visit the area's historic monuments or explore the wines from the region's coastal vineyards.
In addition to engaging academic content (see further details below), we will organise a number of professional networking events for our delegates. In the past this has included welcome drinks and dinner at the Grand Hotel Tritone, a boat trip to Capri along the beautiful coast line of the Amalfi with a lunch at Nerano, and the spectacular Walk of the Gods along the ridge line in the mountains above Positano. We have also organised excursions to the important Archeological Park at Pompei.
Conference Hotel
We are pleased to be returning to the Grand Hotel Tritone as the conference venue and hotel for the Pan Europe Pacific Conference. Dramatically positioned on the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast in between Positano and Praiano, the Grand Hotel Tritone is one of the best in the area and boasts stunning views of Capri, Positano and Li Galli archipelago. The hotel has private beach access, two swimming pools, a beach club, a restaurant, cocktail lounge and much more.
Conference Registration
Legal 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.
