Welcome Party

At the end of the tutorials, a Welcome Party with wine  tasting (animated by a wine producer from a Chateau near Bordeaux) & cheese degustation  will be organized at the Marriott Rive-Gauche hotel on May 14th! This welcome reception will enable people to register to the conference and meet with their colleagues before the conference officialy starts, the next day. This will also be an opportunity to ask the local french organizers all questions you may have while in Paris...:

what to see, what to do ? 

which store to go to ?

what to eat ...?

Everything to have fun in Paris can be found here.
