Practical Information

All concurrent sessions and the Book Exhibit will take place in the rooms on the first floor of the building located at Piazza Sraffa 13. The "Grand Opening" on Thursday and the plenary sessions on Friday will instead take place in the auditorium ("Aula Magna") in the building of Via Gobbi 5. Finally, auxiliary sessions and events, including the BHC Presidential Address, the Chandler Reception, and the Gala Dinner, will be held in Via Röntgen 1 building. Coffee breaks and lunches will be served on the Ground Floor of Piazza Sraffa 13. The Business Historians at Business Schools Lunch on Friday and the Women in Business History Lunch on Saturday will be served in the Via Röntgen 1 building (floor -2). The sealed envelope contains your payment receipt and the token that you must exhibit at the Gala Dinner on Saturday.

Inside your conference badge you will find a small map that will help you find your way to the campus buildings we will be using (the map also provides emergency numbers).

All events will also be signposted throughout the campus, while there will be staff available to provide directions. A summary version of the program is now available for quick reference.

The only event that will take place outside the campus is the "Emerging Scholars Reception" on Friday evening. The venue (Restaurant Volo, Viale Beatrice d'Este 40) is only a few blocks from Bocconi. We will have groups leaving from the registration desk (Piazza Sraffa 13) at 7:15pm.

Please note that at the Emerging Scholars Reception each participant is entitled to a free drink and to the finger-food buffet. Please exhibit the plastic token that you must pick up at the registration desk on Friday morning. All drinks after the first one will have to be paid.

Wireless internet connection is available throughout the campus. To set up your computer please follow the instructions that are provided in your conference package.
