Social Events

The conference will have an extensive program of social happenings before, during and immediately after the conclusion of the conference, to enhance the networking and overall experience of the event. 

There will be selected day trips organized especially for the ICSO 2026 attendees and their companions. As Sorrento is situated in a unique coastal area of the Bay of Napoli between the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, and the Island of Capri day-trips are foreseen pre- and post-conference. 

More information about the tours can be found at a special Tours page to be added in due time.
