Location
The conference will
be held in Algarve, Portugal at the Hotel Tivoli Carvoeiro.
In the Algarve, close to the picturesque
village of Carvoeiro, The
Hotel Tivoli Carvoeiro
is a very special hotel with a Moorish influence in its décor,
which is nestled in a dramatic location perched above a small
cove with its own secluded beach. This hotel has been built on
the rocks above the Vale Covo beach, which is surrounded by
caves and rocks forming an inlet of limpid and quiet waters.
How to get to Hotel Tivoli
Carvoeiro
What you can do around the
Hotel
Situated on the extreme South of Portugal, this
part of the territory was the last to be conquered from the
Moors by the Portuguese king in 1292. Traces of the Moorish
presence are still seen in its unique architecture - terraces,
chimneys and whitewashed houses.

The coastline is notable for picturesque limestone caves
and grottoes, particularly around Lagos, which are
accessible by powerboat. Praia da Marinha, Lagoa was
classified as one of the 100 most beautiful and well
preserved beaches of the world. There are many other
beautiful and famous summer places such as Albufeira,
Vilamoura, Portimão, Lagos, Armação de Pêra, Quarteira,
Monte Gordo and Tavira.
Algarve an aquarelle in shades of mountain and sea where
warm brush strokes of golden shores mix gently with the
scent of wild flowers. A region renowned for its
sea-smelling colourful fishing boats. A paradise with the
most beautiful shores in Europe all fringed by rocks that
were sculpted by the sea and immense golden sands that
extend far and wide.

As you travel across the Algarve, amidst its hills and plains
filled with places of great ecological interest, rich in
biodiversity and ecosystems, you will feel as though you are
passing through an area full of different traditions,
unchanged for many centuries.
The region's built heritage is something you cannot afford to
miss. The architecture of the whitewashed houses, with their
brightly-coloured mouldings and remarkably beautiful chimneys,
the church belfries and the museums, all reveal particular
memories of the ancestors of the Algarve people and help to
make this such a special destination.
The handicraft is skilfully manufactured by the local
craftsmen, who make use of longstanding, ancestral techniques
and produce an excellent range of pottery, woven baskets,
copper and brass articles, or other pieces made of linen and
jute.
Its gastronomy is a superb menu that offers a wide variety of
Mediterranean highland aromas and flavours and includes dishes
made with fish and shellfish, such as the famous "Caldeirada
de Peixe" (fish stew) or the typical "Cataplana de Ameijoas"
(a dish prepared with cockles). There are traditional
restaurants to please everyone, bars and casinos and for those
whose batteries never run out, countless discos with wide open
doors to inviting you to dance the night away.
