Venue
Palazzo D'Avalos, Vasto, Italy
The conference will take place at the historic Palazzo d'Avalos, and
will be able to accommodate up to 125 participants. The venue includes modern audio/visual
equipment, wi-fi for participants, and ample room for scientific poster presentations. On
high-demand, we are happy to share that the conference room will be cooled down this edition
with temporary cooling units. Coffee/tea breaks and welcome receptions are planned to be held in
the beautiful gardens of the Palazzo D'Avalos during both weeks:
Week 1 (Stellar mass Compact Objects): Social events
Week 2 (Active Galactic Nuclei): Social events
Several end-of-day "aperitivi" (pre-dinner drinks & snacks) are also planned during both
conference weeks.
Information regarding the local area and accommodation options can be found on the Travel Info page.
During both VAM weeks participants are also free to use the city library during opening hours
(9am-1pm & 4pm-7pm). The library is a short 5-10 minute walk from Palazzo D'Avalos. As well
as wi-fi, the library hosts a meeting room (~10 people) equipped with a projector that
participants can use (convenient for small science meeting break-outs).
