Dinner: Check out the details about the Conference Dinner on the Registration page (optional, extra cost).
Farewell entertainment: After the end of Day 3, you are welcome to explore on your own two great places. One is Rio Scenarium (The renovated "Hall of culture" with live entrainment and special views - see: www.rioscenarium.com.br/novo/quem_somos.php). The other is Lapa at night, an area of small streets with many restaurants and shops at an old lovely section of Rio, see: www.rio.com/restaurants-night-life/lapa-night. These locations offer many food options and some music; they are not part of the conference program and going there depends on your choices - but we assume several delegates will want to go there, hence this could be a nice way to end your visit with new and old friends. The local organizers will provide some more information during the conference.
Portuguese and Spanish sessions
In addition to the main program in English, the conference includes several features in Portuguese and Spanish, including pre-conference sessions and paper sessions. We will also hold a special open meeting on Day 3 afternoon for networking of researchers from Latin-American countries.
