The conference dinner will be held in the Campus Ballroom (“Casino Festsaal”) on Wednesday 12. August, which happens to coincide with a partial solar eclipse that will also be experienced here in Frankfurt during the early evening.
The Campus Ballroom is just a few minutes walk downhill from the main lecture hall building. We begin at 19:00 h with a “Sekt” reception on the terrace in front of the entrance to the Campus Ballroom, enjoying a glass or two of German sparkling wine (Sekt).
Solar Eclipse!
At around 19:30 h, fingerfood appetizers and a wider selection of drinks will be served as the “Sekt” reception merges into the first course of our dinner. During our reception should anyone wish to find higher ground for a better view during the maximum of the partial eclipse (at 8:13 pm), we can recommend to try the lecture building or the place in front of it which is roughly a 2-3 minute walk away.
The lecture building has a west-facing terrace on the 3rd floor. Protective glasses will be provided as the partial solar eclipse progresses towards its maximum (90%) that will be reached at 20:13 h.
Dinner
At around 8:30 we will find our seats in the Campus Ballroom where the main buffet will be officially pronounced open. Later in the evening, a DJ will delight us with feel-good music, during which you are very welcome to dance or otherwise enjoy socialising until the end of the evening, around 1:00 a.m.
