The conference dinner will take place at the Pousada Palace of Estoi, a recovered eighteenth century palace featuring a combination of classical, baroque and contemporary architectural and artistic elements. The palace is surrounded by gardens with a French and Italian inspiration and offers a splendid view over a marvellous landscape encompassing the Algarve countryside, where the Palace is situated, and, further away, the Atlantic coast.
