CESPT Symposium is returning to its birthplace of Bled for the first time in 30 years from its inception. Bled is without a doubt one of the most breath-taking meetings’ destinations that will astonish visitors year-round. The endless beauty of a city embraced by the idyllic nature, situated in the northwest corner of Slovenia, at the foot of the Julian Alps, just 50 kilometers northwest of Slovenia’s capital of Ljubljana and 150 kilometers from the Adriatic coast, will leave you speechless with a first glance of its stunning view of the emerald lake, romantic island, and Bled Castle atop a steep white rock in the background.
Bled beckons you to step into the largest and greenest living room in the world, delve into its rich history and culture, and embark on an adventure, exploring its environs. It is is one of the leading sustainable destinations in Slovenia, also known as a hub for executive education and a cradle of many great world sports champions.
Slovenia is a remarkable destination that perfectly blends rich cultural heritage with cutting-edge scientific innovation. Situated at the crossroads of European history, this small yet diverse country offers an inspiring environment for academic and professional exchange. The country’s commitment to excellence is reflected in its well-established tradition of hosting international conferences, providing delegates with world-class facilities in a setting that is both scenic and intellectually stimulating.
As you gather in Bled for the CESPT Symposium, you’ll experience Slovenia’s unique ability to fuse tradition with modernity. After your sessions by the serene Lake Bled, you can easily venture to the enchanting capital of Ljubljana for a dose of urban charm or unwind in the tranquil Alpine landscapes of the Triglav National Park. If time allows, a short trip to the stunning Adriatic coastline will reveal Slovenia’s Mediterranean flair, while the Karst region offers the chance to explore the awe-inspiring Postojna Cave or enjoy wine-tasting in the picturesque vineyards of Goriška Brda. This allows for a rich cultural experience alongside the symposium’s academic sessions, making your time in Slovenia both productive and memorable.
