GLA’s Annual General Meeting 2022

Message from the Host

 

It gives me enormous pleasure to welcome the GLA members to Greece in 2022 for our Annual General Meeting.
It has been a tough few years and it is going to be great to see everyone in person.
We have selected a very nice hotel that fits into the GLA’s high standards for holding the AGM.
Athens is a vibrant city, steeped in history and I look forward to showing you around some of the famous sites.
Until then stay safe and healthy.

Early Bird Registration: Euro 550 
applicable up to November 30, 2019

Normal Registration payments have to be received before the start of the AGM 2020.

AIRPORT

 

Hilton Beijing Hotel locates in downtown area and close to Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK).
From PEK to Hilton Beijing Hotel => around 30 mins by taxi; around 30 mins (2 stops by Metro Express).
A new airport, BEIJING DAXING INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (PKX), which is far from downtown, was open on Sep. 30th, 2019.

We suggest members to book flight to PEK rather than PKX because from PKX to Hilton Beijing hotel ==> near 2 hours by taxi (traffics jam in Beijing is very normal); near 1.5 hours (19 stops by  normal Metro system)
