Group Photo

The ICLR group photo (1 150 attendees) will be taken in the famous RCT Stadium (Rugby Club Toulonnais, one of the best European team).

We'll use the “secret” door from Neptune congress to get directly into the stadium.

You'll be instructed to arrange in a 14 ranks x 80 people configuration, as illustrated here.

At 18:00, we'll move from the talk session to the reception and then we'll get through the secret door to reach the stadium.

At 18:15, we should be in position, so that we can take the photo by 18:30.

Gala Dinner

The GALA on 25th in the evening (for conference attendees only) is taking place at Neptune.

There is no dress code for the GALA and admissions are from 19:00 to 19:30. Those wishing to eat earlier can sit on floor 3, where dinner will finish at 22:00. Floor 1 will have dinner served slightly later, finishing at 22:30, but continuing until midnight with live Jazz music.

The menu can be accessed here.

We have a few gluten free and many vegetarian meals for those who asked: the Green Ticket will is for vegetarian meals, whereas the Yellow Ticket is the non-vegetarian option.

The lunches are served at the Neptune congress center. It will consist of finger food, with a few tables for those who wish to sit on floor 0, 1, 2 or 3. Gluten Free meals will be served at floor 2.
