EADTU ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2010
A networking conference at great height
This year’s annual conference will take place in Zermatt. Zermatt lies on the Italian border of the canton of Valais in the west of Switzerland at the foot of the Matterhorn. Zermatt is all about high-alpine, awe-inspiring and originality. The climate is of an excellent quality, with 300 sunny days a year, there is less rainfall than anywhere else in Switzerland. The air in Zermatt is clear, dry and clean, because only electric cars without a combustion engine are allowed to operate in the village. Things are a little different in Zermatt. Zermatt: a world of its own! For three days, 27-28-29 September, Zermatt can become your world! Experience it yourself. Register now for our conference.
