All plenary and panel sessions will take place in the rooms at this level (PD1, 507, 508, 509 and 518). The registration desk and the catering services (lunch and coffee breaks) will also be located here. See the E4 building floor plan below.

Transportation will be provided by the organization to move participants between E4 and the museum at the end of the first day. See the shuttle location on the meeting points map below. If you are staying at Wanawes Resort, it is a short walk to/from the museum.

Two adjacent areas of the botanical garden (Flower Garden and Buddhist Garden) will be the site of the Nature Walk on the morning of Day 2. Transportation will be provided by the organization to move participants between E4 and the Botanical Garden at 7 AM on the morning of the second day.
