3:00pm - 6:00pmExcursion: Excursion on Rehberger Weg
Bring your conference badge with you to participate in the excursion. Badges will be checked before boarding the bus.

Departure: We will depart in buses from the conference venue to the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany) at 15:00. If you want to go to the Vitra Campus by yourself, you can find a travel description at this link. In this case, please make sure that you arrive at Vitra before 15:30.

Walk: We will walk the Rehberger-Weg. The Rehberger-Weg, which is around five kilometers long, links two countries, two municipalities, two cultural institutions – and countless stories. The path runs between Weil am Rhein and Riehen, between the Vitra Campus and the Fondation Beyeler. The walk will end at the restaurant of the conference dinner.

Equipment: During the walks the national border is crossed. Please carry an identity card, a water bottle and wear sturdy shoes! We recommend that you download the Multimedia Guide “24 Stops” on your mobile which is available on Google Play (for Android devices) and on the Apple App store.

6:30pm - 10:00pmConference Dinner
Location: Restaurant Landgasthof Riehen
Bring your conference badge with you to the dinner. Badges will be checked at the entrance and contain codes for your chosen dinner options.
