Main Venue

The Grand Hotel Salerno will host the conference as well as the Welcome Dinner (on the Rooftop).

The Grand Hotel Salerno offers a special blend of elegance and comfort along the Salerno seafront. With its distinct nautical architecture mirroring the bow of a ship, the hotel presents an enchanting view over the Gulf of Salerno, poised towards the picturesque Amalfi Coast. Its seaside location ensures that guests are merely steps away from the serene waterfront promenade and a short distance from Salerno’s historical heart, bustling with artistic and cultural treasures and premier shopping avenues.

The hotel’s strategic proximity to Salerno’s main transport hubs, including the railway station (450 meters away) and the touristic port (500 meters away), provides effortless access to explore the surrounding UNESCO-listed regions of the Amalfi and Cilento coasts, along with the iconic islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida, and significant archaeological sites across Campania.
