Place: Weinwirtschaft Friedrich Wilhelm, Weberbach 75, 54290 Trier

Interesting facts: Centrally located in the old town – attached to the former seminary with the auditorium where Karl Marx took his school-leaving exams; diagonally opposite is the Constantine Basilica, the former palace hall of the Roman emperors, which was converted into the Protestant church ‘Zum Erlöser’ (To the Saviour) by the Prussians in the 19th century. It's definitely worth a visit!

Cuisine: There will be a buffet for IAFPA participants – including vegan, regional and Lebanese options. The Weinwirtschaft has its own vineyard-Sortiment der Bischöflichen Weingüter. Wine will also be served.

Note that conference registration includes participation in the Welcome Reception and the Conference Dinner
