Hotel Royal Continental, Naples
Join us on the Naples waterfront at Hotel Royal Continental—steps from Castel dell’Ovo and close to the historic centre, with the gulf, lively streets, and renowned local cuisine creating an ideal setting for conference sessions and networking.
Conference Venue
The conference will be held at the Hotel Royal Continental, a seafront venue on Via Partenope in Naples. Its waterfront setting provides convenient access to both the conference activities and some of the city’s most recognizable urban landmarks.
The venue is located along the Lungomare and within walking distance of Santa Lucia, Borgo Marinari, and key city areas such as Piazza del Plebiscito. The surrounding district combines a prestigious waterfront atmosphere with practical access to restaurants, cafés, and local services.
Metro, bus, and taxi links make it easy for attendees to explore Naples after the sessions, whether they wish to visit the historic centre, enjoy the seafront, or plan a short cultural excursion.
Session rooms and detailed conference signage can be confirmed later in the final program, but the venue already offers a strong setting for both formal presentations and informal meetings among participants.
