Conference Banquet
Thursday, Sept 13th
A stop in the "Santa Barbara" stables, a past setting for the World Riding Championships, opens your evening of

The conference banquet will be held in the
Odescalchi castle of Bracciano. This majestic castle, one of the most
beautiful European feudal manor houses, arises from the southern bank of Lake
Bracciano, at a short distance from Rome. A chance to sample the delights of the local cuisine
together with contemporary entertainment in a medieval castle
guarantees an evening to remember.
