The DATE Party traditionally states one of the highlights of the DATE week. As one of the main networking opportunities during the DATE week, it is a perfect occasion to meet friends and colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere while enjoying local amenities. It is scheduled on Wednesday, March 27, 2019, from 19:30 to 23:00.
This year, it will take place at Palazzo Borghese [1], which is located in the heart of Firenze and is a beautiful example of neoclassic architecture. It belonged to Prince Camillo Borghese, who took temporary residence here after his marriage to Pauline Bonaparte (sister of Napoleon). The rich Prince renovated the building on the occasion of the wedding between Grand Duke Ferdinand III and Princess Maria Ferdinanda of Saxony in May 1821, commending the work to the young architect Gaetano Baccani. The inauguration party was on the 31st January 1822, and the Florentine nobles were really surprised at such magnificent work: marbles, paintings, and antique furniture gave notoriety to Baccani and the people’s affection to the Prince because, with his request, he had given jobs to many different artisans.
Nowadays Palazzo Borghese, still maintaining the ancient splendor and pomp, hosts in its rooms events such as meetings, conferences, weddings, gala dinner and all kind of events linked with major appointments in town.
Please kindly note that it is not a seated dinner.
All delegates, exhibitors and their guests are invited to attend the party. Please note that entrance is only possible with a valid party ticket. Each full conference registration includes a ticket for the DATE Party (which needs to be booked during the online registration process though). Additional tickets can be purchased on-site at the registration desk (subject to availability of tickets). Price for extra ticket: 70 € per person.
