Conference of the International Bar Association | ||||
Social Programme * Indicates functions open to delegates and registered guests for which there is no charge. Admission is by Conference badge. Social function tickets will not be confirmed until full payment is received at the IBA office. If full payment is not received by Monday 29 August, tickets will be released without further warning. Tickets, where relevant, must be purchased for children over 13. Some social functions may not be suitable for young children and, if this is the case the IBA reserves the right not to admit them. Social function prices: the IBA does not mark up ticket prices or make a profit from social functions. Dining in a large group will sometimes cost more than dining individually because of additional costs such as room hire, transport, decoration, etc. A full list of Committee social functions will be sent to all delegates with their registration acknowledgement. The Conference dress code is: casual for working sessions and smart casual for social events with the exception of the Gala Dinner at Prague Castle, which is black tie or national dress. 1900 Welcome Party The Municipal House, venue for the Conference’s opening gathering, is a national heritage building and one of the most important buildings in Prague. It stands in the very centre of the city on the site of the old Royal Court, and was conceived as a monumental ceremonial palace intended to be the centre of Czech cultural and social life. Leading Czech painters and sculptors shared in the decoration of the beautiful halls and salons, all of which will be open for the party. Wander around at your leisure sampling Czech food, wine and beer and listening to the musicians and other artists who will be there to entertain you. 0800 – 1030 *Opening Ceremony Prague Congress Centre Breakfast for all delegates and registered guests will be served from 0800 prior to the Opening Ceremony commencing at 0900. 1230 – 1400 European Forum lunch THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT Bellevue Hall, Corinthia Towers Hotel Price: £30 (£25.21 + £4.79 Czech VAT @ 19%) 1230 – 1400 Senior Lawyers’ lunch Suite 2, Corinthia Towers Hotel Price: £30 (£25.21 + £4.79 Czech VAT @ 19%) 1230 – 1400 Women Lawyers’ lunch Restaurant Gloria, PCC Price: £30 (£25.21 + £4.79 Czech VAT @ 19%) 1900 *Reception in the grounds of Prague Castle Hosted by the Czech Bar Association and Brož & Sokol & Novák, Èermák Hoøejš Myslil & Partners, Gleiss Lutz, Havel & Holáesk, Holec Zuska & Partners, Kocián Šolc Balaštik, Rödl & Partners, Rösch Kocina & Partners, Salans and Vosík, Dr Lenka Vidovièová 1230 – 1400 African Regional Forum lunch Restaurant Gloria, PCC Price: £30 (£25.21 + £4.79 Czech VAT @ 19%) 1230 – 1400 Corporate Counsel Forum lunch THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT Bellevue Hall, Corinthia Towers Hotel Price: £30 (£25.21 + £4.79 Czech VAT @ 19%)  1230 – 1400 Latin American and Caribbean Forum lunch THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT Suite 2, Corinthia Towers Hotel Price: £30 (£25.21 + £4.79 Czech VAT @ 19%) 1715 *Newcomers’ Reception Prague Congress Centre 1230 – 1400 Asia Pacific Forum lunch Suite 2, Corinthia Towers Hotel Price: £30 (£25.21 + £4.79 Czech VAT @ 19%) 1230 – 1400 Public and Professional Interest Division lunch Bellevue Hall, Corinthia Towers Hotel Price: £30 (£25.21 + £4.79 Czech VAT @ 19%) AM IBA golf tournament For further information please indicate your interest on the registration form. 1230 – 1400 Legal Practice Division lunch Restaurant Gloria, PCC Price: £30 (£25.21 + £4.79 Czech VAT @ 19%) PM IBA football match Venue: Tréninkové centrum AC Sparta Praha For further information please indicate your interest on the registration form. 1715 *Young Lawyers’ Reception Sponsored by LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell 1930 Prague Castle Gala Dinner THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT For over 1,000 years, Prague Castle, with its fairytale architecture, has assumed a unique role in Europe and since the 9th century it has been both a secular and an ecclesiastical location. Formerly the seat of the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, it now houses the offices of the President of the Czech Republic. Permission has been given to the IBA to hold the Gala Dinner in State Rooms not usually open to the public: the Spanish Hall, the former principal hall of the court for balls and coronation festivities, and Rudolf’s Gallery, which represents the summit of interior design during the reign of Rudolf II in the 16th century. Dinner will take place in these two rooms, both stunningly beautiful and quite unforgettable, and will be followed by dancing in the adjacent Rothmayer Hall. Join us for what should prove to be a truly memorable evening, a fitting climax to the Conference week in this most beautiful of European capitals. Price: £148 (£124.37 + £23.63 Czech VAT @ 19%)
