The conference will take place in La Grande Motte, France, a Mediterranean city with immediate surroundings providing a lot of touristic sites to visit, the vineyards, the coast, the mountains and numerous World heritage sites of the Languedoc-Roussillon region (e.g. Roman remains such as Le Pont du Gard or the Nîmes arenas, the medieval city of Carcassonne, etc.)

The Conference will be held in the Congress Centre (Le Palais des Congrès) in La Grande Motte, France.

The Congress Centre overlooks the Grande Motte marina. The beach, down-town and restaurant areas are all within close walking distance.
