ULD CARE Latest News June 2014

The ULD CARE Annual Conference is fast approaching. From September 8 to 11, 2014, we will gather in Germany for a conference we believe you will find very dynamic: “Mainz 2014-Call to action”. We have chosen a theme that reflects the need for action towards change. Hope to see you there!!!

The outline of the much anticipated program is now published on our website while the final detailed agenda will be available in August.
 
If you are a ULD CARE member, you should have already received the invitation for the conference. It included the Conference Registration, Hotel Booking Information as well as the Visa Application for Germany for those requiring one.
 
If you are not a ULD CARE member and would like to attend the conference, please contact Louise Ladouceur via email at: louise.ladouceur@uldcare.com.
 
Together with the Mainz 2014 Program Outline, you will find on our website, thanks to our sponsors, the already planned Networking and Social Activities including the Welcome Reception on Monday night, the Spousal/Partner Program, Networking Coffee Break and the Rhine River Cruise for our Farewell Dinner Event on Wednesday night.
 
We strongly advise you to register and book your hotel as soon as possible as September is a very busy month for tourism in this wine-making region.
