Seeing old friends, making new contacts
The conference will also provide a last opportunity to meet many of the people who have participated in Future in the Alps. The Future in the Alps project team is inviting attendees to an aperitif at a session that will include a presentation of the results, a slide show of the main activities and events, a few short concluding speeches, and an exhibition of the final products of Future in the Alps. But the main focus will be on the attendees themselves, who will have an opportunity to meet old friends and make new contacts!
