On behalf of the LOC, we are extremely pleased to announce the organisation of the social dinner for the SPARCS-XII conference. The dinner will take place at ristorante A Balùs in Bologna city centre at 20:00 on Wednesday 8th May 2024.
For your convenience, the address is: Via del Borgo di San Pietro 9/2A, 40126, Bologna Italy.
This will be a four-course dinner consisting of antipasto (starter), bis di primi piatti (two first dishes), secondo piatto con contorno (second dish with side), and dessert, to be followed by a coffee. The price for the dinner is 55€, to be paid at the restaurant. There is no specified dress code for the social dinner.
We have secured some funding to offset the costs. We won't know the total per person until we have a headcount so please register, but were estimating the cost now to be closer to 30€.
To help with the logistics, we ask that you both confirm your attendance and choose your options in advance, by no later than 19:30 CET on Monday 6th May 2024, following the welcome aperitivo. Please note that registration for the social dinner is essential to guarantee a place.
Please select between the meat and vegetarian options using the Google Form. If you are bringing a guest to the social dinner, please indicate so, and include their meal choices using the additional answers. If you have any special dietary requirements, including vegan and/or allergies, please let us know and we will advise the restaurant.
