New Conference Venue
Due to flooding in Budapest the Conference Hotel had to evacuate. The new Conference Venue is in the inner City of Budapest:
BEST WESTERN Hotel Hungaria 1074 Budapest, Rákóczi út 90. Danubius Hotel Arena H-1148 Budapest Ifjúság útja 1-3. Arena, a Vendégek arany fokozatú támogatója
Apart from the venue nothing will change! All the bookings are the same. Both Hotels co-operate with each other.
Conference Venue – Budapest, Hungary
Budapest is the capital and the largest city of Hungary as well as the principal political, cultural, commercial, industrial, and transportation centre. According to the 2011 Census, Budapest had 1.74 million inhabitants within an area of 525 square kilometres (202.7 sq mi). Budapest became a single city occupying both banks of the river Danube with the unification on 17 November 1873 of westbank Buda and Óbuda with east-bank Pest.
Frequently described as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, its extensive World Heritage Site includes the banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter, Andrássy Avenue, Heroes’ Square and the Millennium Underground Railway, the second oldest in the world. Other highlights include a total of 80 geothermal springs, the world’s largest thermal water cave system, and third largest Parliament building (Wikipedia).
In our conference venue, Danubius Health Spa Resort Margitsziget and Danubius Grand Hotel, we will experience the power of nature on tranquil Margaret Island, located just 10 minutes from the city centre in the middle of a romantic park on Margaret Island, and surrounded by ancient trees and historical ruins. A hotel and spa with fantastic pools, and thermal baths filled with the natural, mineral-rich, healing waters of Budapest. The hotel is located 28km from the airport (45 Minutes by Taxi) and 5km or 9km from both railway stations. We already arranged a half day city sightseeing tour for all conference participants and their guests, which is sponsored by HTRI. A special highlight is the conference dinner, which will be held as part of a boat trip on the river Danube.
To further enjoy the beautiful location and venue, conference participants will be able to stay for a very special rate before and after the conference. These additional arrangements may be booked together with registration for the conference, but will be invoiced separately through the hotel when checking out.

Excursion
We plan a half day excursion to visit Knossos. A bus will take us from the hotel to Heraklion to have a look at the “Palace of Minos”. Knossos has a very long history of human habitation, beginning with the founding of the first Neolithic settlement in around 7000 BC. Knossos grew in size over the centuries until, by the 19th-16th centuries BC, the settlement included a monumental administrative and religious central building (i.e., the Palace) as well as a surrounding settlement of 5000-8000 people. Please bring a hat and sunscreen along because direct sun at Knossos is very strong.
Further information on Knossos can be found on www.sacred-destinations.com/greece/knossos
