EDXC Conference 2023

EDXC 2023 Conference will be held at Metz in Lorraine, France from 7 to 10 September, 2002.

The dates chosen are from September 7 to 10, 2023. The venue will be the Hotel Campanile near the train station in Metz in Lorraine, France. I suggest you arrive on Thursday September 7, on Friday we could visit Europa Sender in Felsberg in Saarland. Saturday and Sunday morning, the actual conference.

The traditional Banquet will be on Saturday evening, and of course a sightseeing tour of the city of Metz will be included during the stay.

Currently no reservations are made at the moment, I would just like to know how many people are interested. In these difficult times in Europe (Covid, Ukraine and recessions...) it is important to prepare your travel budget. So I present to you the proposed prices.

Accommodation: with breakfast included. Single room: 90 €uro. Double/Twin room: 99 €uro. Triple room: 129 €uro, per night. Banquet: 30 €uro. Conference fees & visit will depend on the number of participants: but we can think of around 50 €uro.

So before making reservations, I would like to know your opinions and your intentions. Of course nothing commits you, you can change your mind.

The goal is to know if there will be a sufficient number of participants. I therefore await your feedback.

(Christian Ghibaudo, Assistant Secretary-General, EDXC)
