Lelystad is a remarkable city. As the capital of Flevoland province, it stands on land that was once part of an inland sea, now made habitable through Dutch innovation. Lelystad offers visitors many opportunities for relaxation and sightseeing. An international symposium deserves an appropriate venue, and we are pleased to announce that this edition will take place at the brand-new Animal Welfare Centre in Lelystad. This venue not only offers excellent lecture spaces, but is also equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure maximum comfort for both guests and speakers.
The venue can accommodate up to 220 attendees, and the symposium will be held in its two main halls. There will also be opportunities for exhibitors to showcase their products or services to an international audience.
The venue is easily accessible by car and public transport and there are several suitable hotel options nearby for overnight stays.
