WELCOME PROGRAM REGISTRATION AUTHORS SPONSORS & EXHIBITORS HEIDELBERG

Scientific & Social Program


The CAOS Community

Ever since the foundation of our society the annual meetings tried to offer an experience worth remembering not only to those attending the scientifc part of the conference, but also to their spouses and families. A number of social events are therefore an integral part of the meeting and are open to every participant of CAOS 2007 as well as to those who register as an accompanying person.

Wednesday Afternoon: Welcome Reception

Before the scientic program will start on Thursday morning, everyone is invited to a first gathering at the industrial exhibition in the Heidelberg Convention Center. Snacks and drinks will be served.

Friday Night: Conference Banquet

A cable car will take us up to the top of the hill, where the famous Heidelberg castle is located. The conference banquet will take place in the knight’s hall of this 500 year-old historic building. After a glass of champagne on the terrace, which offers a gorgeous view over the Old Town of Heidelberg, we will descend into the arches of the knight’s hall and you will find yourself in the location where knight’s games took place in medieval times. Here we will have dinner, celebrate the M. E. Müller Award laureate, and transfer the Presidency of CAOS-International.

Saturday Noon: Scientific Awards Ceremony

After awarding the prizes for the best clinical and technical podium and poster presentations, we will gather at the bar of the Convention Center for a typical Southern German snack with pretzels and wheat beer.

Saturday Afternoon: Dragon Boat Race

We will meet in the Neckar Meadows along the banks of the Neckar river. Several dragon boats will be waiting for us to start the dragon boat competition, followed by a solid barbecue to celebrate the winning team during an informal chill-out party. Those who prefer to stay on solid ground may compete in a beach volleyball tournament.
