The First Lady’s Lunch

And not forgetting all the spouses and accompanying partners who will visit a local farmhouse on Friday morning to learn about the intricacies of planning a sustainable vegetable garden followed by a demonstration of how mozzarella is made and the secrets to making ravioli.

…and some practical information for our registered delegates…

It is soon time to start packing! If you are not sure what to pack the Dress Code on page 6 of the convention brochure will guide you.

Daytime temperatures in Sorrento range from 25°C to 30°C in September. However, evenings are slightly cooler, around 20°C, so we recommend light clothing during the day and bring an extra layer for the cooler evenings. And of course, don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen.

For those of you arriving on the weekend, we strongly advise you to check in at the IPLOCA Convention Registration Desk during the weekend on Saturday 7 September 13:00 to 18:00
