For the conference gala dinner, we will take a dinner cruise on Lake Zurich during the sunset. We hope that the gala dinner will be a pleasant time that you can use for meeting up with colleagues and enjoying the unique scenery of Lake Zurich with the exceptional panoramic view of the Alps.

    Don't miss out on:
  • A traditional Swiss apero awaiting you at Bürkliplatz at 18:30. While you sip your “Hugo” (a refreshing cocktail consisting of elderflower syrup, peppermint, and prosecco) or water, you can indulge in traditional Swiss accordion music.
  • Enjoy networking with your colleagues, meet key note speakers, members of the Executive Board, and journal editors.
  • We have selected a range of traditional Swiss dishes that will fulfill just any wishes for a lush dinner:
    • A tomato soup inspired by a recipe from the Italian part of Switzerland (the Ticino) with a tad of cream and basil
    • A buffet with freshly picked salads, accompanied by different kernels, crispy bacon, boiled eggs, fresh bread and different dressings
    • Swiss Granny’s meat loaf, “Älplermagronen” with apple sauce (traditional dish that will make you feel like Heidi, sitting in a hut on a mountain top: rich cheese, potato and pasta dish), Olma-sausages (famous sausages from St. Gallen) with onion sauce, potato bake, veggies
    • Sweet tooth? You will be offered a buffet with apple tartlets with custard, “Zuger Kirschtorte” (a famous cake with Kirsch from the closeby region Zug), caramel pudding, crème brulée “Swiss granny style”, two different Toblerone chocolate mousse variations, fresh fruit salad
    • Alternatively, we will offer you a range of Swiss cheese with grapes, walnuts, pear bread and butter

The conference dinner will take place on Friday, July 24th, in the evening at 18:30. We will meet at the Bürkliplatz (which you can reach in around 20 minutes walking time from the conference or by tram, e.g. by line 5 from stop “Kantonsschule”). Be sure to make it on time because the boat will depart at 19:00 sharp. The sunset cruise will last three hours, and we will arrive back at the Bürkliplatz at 22:00.

The boat will leave from Zürich Bürkliplatz and then pass by the “Goldcoast” of Lake Zurich (Küsnacht – Meilen – Stäfa), which is famous for catching a lot of sun and for its wealthy inhabitants. Then, we will cruise back to Zurich along the “Sniffle Coast”, as the locals call it (Richterswil – Au – Horgen – Thalwil), which received its name because it is little less sunny than the gold coast but that also offers a very beautiful scenery.

Please note that the places on the boat are limited, and that they will be given on a first-come-first-served basis. The price of the dinner is 100 CHF (about 94 € / 100 $) and includes the boat cruise, a three-course menu (Swiss buffet), and selected drinks. You can register for the conference dinner during your registration for the conference.

It is also possible to register an accompanying person for the dinner who is not participating in the conference.
