Welcome reception and banquet dinner
A welcome reception will be organized at TDLI, the conference venue, starting at 7 PM on May 24, 2024. Refreshments and light meals will be served.
We will organize a banquet dinner at a restaurant downtown on May 25, 2024. A local Shanghainese cuisine will be served. After dinner, a guided casual city walk by the Huangpu River can be arranged for interested parties.
Excursion
No scientific program will be scheduled for the afternoon of May 26. An optional excursion trip to Tongli, a nearby ancient water town, will be organized. The participants will need to pay an additional fee for this service, which includes round-trip shuttle service between hotels and Xitang, entrance fees, and a guided tour.
The tentative schedule is the following:

- 15:30-18:30 Sightseeing at Tongli
- 18:30-19:30 Casual dinner

More details about the cost will be added later.
