Hi KBS participants,

Would any-one be interested in joining together to go for a run/walk during the conference in Lausanne?

I imagine a walk/run along the lake in the morning would make for a pretty spectacular backdrop and memorable addition to the conference!

Any-one interested in walking, jogging or running could email me and we could maybe get some loose arrangements before we arrive. clairew@turningpoint.org.au and remember to pack walking/running shoes if you are interested.

Cheers,
Claire

Organizers Comments

The most convenient place for jogging along the lake is "Ouchy" (terminus of the Metro). Please contact Claire to fix an appointment there.

Dear colleague,

The final version of the conference program has been released on May 17.
