We invite all participants and accompanying persons to join us for a Welcome Reception in a historical building on Wednesday evening. On Thursday we will have a Conference Lunch with a keynote address given by Steven Ross. In the evening, a Boat Tour on the Moskva River will provide you with an opportunity to relax enjoying the monuments along the river’s embankments passing by. A concert by the Kremlin Chamber Orchestra will set the stage for the traditional Gala Dinner on Friday evening.

Parallel to the conference sessions we are offering a Moscow Sightseeing Program which includes city tours, a Kremlin tour, and a visit to the Tretyakovskaya gallery.

You are also encouraged to participate in the trip to St. Petersburg or in a tour along the famous Golden Ring after the conference. In cooperation with local agencies we have arranged a three-day package tour to both destinations.

You can obtain more detailed information on these events after having registered for the conference.
