-----<Mr. Tosco's message to Rapporteurs dated 29 September 1998>----
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1998 17:34:49 +0200 From: Tosco Federico Federico.Tosco@CSELT.IT Subject: November Expert meeting To: "'Geary, Tom'" tom.geary@nb.rockwell.com, "'Okubo, Sakae'" okubo@giti.or.jp, "'Skran, Dale'" Dale.Skran@ascend.com, "'Thom, Gary'" gthom@delta-info.com
Dear all,
First of all I would like to confirm the facilities available for the November meeting: - auditorium (170 seats) - meeting room, 40 places - meeting room, 15-20 places
For information about CSELT, how to reach it, hotels in Torino, etc., I suggest you to visit our homepage: http://www.cselt.it.
In particular on the presentation page click on "Overview", where you will find:
- "Getting to CSELT", where you find information about how to reach CSELT - "A guided tour", where under "Supports" some of the facilities, including the Auditorium, are presented
Under "Getting to CSELT" you find also a list of hotels, where you can obtain reduced rates mentioning "CSELT Convention".
Torino airport is connected with the main European cities (Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Brussels, Zurich, Madrid,...) and has many flights to/from Rome every day (see link to Turin Airport under "Getting to CSELT").If you arrive with an intercontinental flight, I suggest to avoid the intercontinental airport of Milano (Milan), which is not far from Torino but has poor connections to Torino. Much better to arrive to Rome or to another destination in Europe having a flight connection to Torino.CSELT is very close to the Torino airport (15 minutes by taxi).
...
Best regards
