Wednesday, July 10: gala dinner
The gala conference dinner will take place on Wednesday, July 10 in the Restaurant Decor in the beautiful Augarten park. The restaurant is situated in the same building as the Augarten Porcelain Factory, one of the most famous porcelain factories in the world. For those interested in the work of the factory, at 15:50 there will be an approx. one hour visit to the factory and its museum. An aperitif will be served in the restaurant at 17:00–17:30 followed by dinner at 18:00. Further entertainment with unexpected surprises will take place during dinner!
The restaurant is easy to reach by public transportation: it is situated close to the U2 station Taborstraße, as well as to tram 31/bus 5A station Obere Augartenstraße. It is also within a walking distance from the KGRC.
There will be no strict dress code for the event. However, the restaurant defines its style as "casual elegant", and suitable clothing will be highly appreciated.
Friday, July 12: excursion and dinner
An excursion to the Wittgenstein Museum in Trattenbach followed by fishing and a dinner in the restaurant Wechselforelle will take place on Friday, July 12. The meeting point is the KGRC, where we will leave at 14:20. After an approx. 1 hour bus trip, there will be a 30-minute tour of the museum. After a walk (or a short ride by bus) to the restaurant, we will have the opportunity to fish in the fish pond of the restaurant. Fishing gear will be provided. The fish we catch will be prepared and served. Don't worry if you don't catch anything; those who have no luck may still order fresh fish at the restaurant. Other dishes are also available.
If you have registered for this event, please make sure that you bring waterproof shoes and clothes with you, as the event will take place even if it rains!
