The conference will be held at Hotel Azúr in Siófok, Hungary.
Siófok
23,000 people live in this little city which is located near lake Balaton, exactly right at the confluence of the Sió Canal and it belongs to Somogy county. Siófok is 100 kilometers far from Budapest on the motorway. At north Lake Balaton surrounds the city; there are hills at south and rolling fields at east. Landscapes are marvellous especially sunrises on the mountains which are on the opposite side of Lake Balaton. This town has good railway connection to Budapest; there are many boats that link it to the northern side of the lake. You can try traditional Hungarian food and the superb wines of Siófok; there are many possibilities to taste new piquant aromas and particular sauces. The temperature of the lake is quite warm, but it's better to swim in it in May because spring climate offers sunny days. Typical maximum daytime temperatures are 24-26 ° C, while the lowest night temperatures are 12-18 °C.
