Social events

7.00 pm Campos Elíseos Theatre, Bilbao.

Bertendona st. 3, BIS

The organisers of ICOE 2010 would like to invite all conference delegates to a reception to welcome you to Bilbao.
The event will be held in one of the city's most iconic venues: the Campos Elíseos Theatre, a magnificent example of Art Deco architecture, recently re-opened after several years’ restoration. Don't miss it!

7 October, Gala Dinner.

8.00 pm Ría de Bilbao Maritime Museum.

Fee: €100 per diner

Appropriately, the conference gala dinner will be held in a museum which takes the sea as its theme. The Ría de Bilbao Maritime Museum is hosting the main social event of ICOE 2010, which will be attended by the leading authorities and speakers taking part in the conference.

With exceptional views over the waterfront and Bilbao's urban environment, this is a unique opportunity to share impressions in an entirely different setting.
