Students Welcome Reception

The Students' Welcome Reception is a great opportunity to meet new colleagues  (or renew old friendships) from around the World. IES officers and organizers look forward to this opportunity to give you a very warm welcome. The reception is included in every Student registration. The location will be announced in the conference materials that you receive at the conference desk.
