Favoured by great personalities of culture in the course of the centuries, Lake Como is today a favourite destination for the most refined and demanding international tourism, which is discovering again the subtle pleasure of exclusivity, relax, service excellence and of the emotions given by the lake ambience.
A new conception of tourism, far from the crowd, near the self, inspired by the spirituality of the historical monuments, by the refined simplicity of the food, by sport happily marrying water and green fields.
To all this, conference structures are added of the highest level, equipped with the most modern technologies and managed with seasoned professionalism, which make Como a suitable site for conferences and meetings of any kind and dimension.
Como has many different beautiful conference sites, such as the majestic Villa Olmo, where Centro Volta holds its premises, Villa Erba, located in Cernobbio, or the enchanting rooms of Società del Casino, by the Social Theatre in Como.
The great touristic appeal of Lake Como as well as its closeness to the major routes in Europe and to Milan, have contributed to assert Centro Volta as an important reference point for the international scientific debate.
Villa Olmo has hosted the most part of the events organized by Centro Volta: the prestigious architectonic frame and the unique location of the Villa, with its gardens sloping down to the lake, the beautful view on the city of Como and the surrounding hills, have been key elements for all scientific meetings that took place here.
Villa Olmo is connected to the city centre through a pleasant lakeshore promenade.
With more than 30 congresses and seminars organized every year, Centro Volta can offer a highly experienced and qualified support for congresses, including:
- Organizing Secretariat (coordinating of suppliers, fittings and equipments, databases, editing and graphics for announcements, posters and programs, mailing and press dispatch);
- Hotels (reservations for participants with special fares, dispatch of confirmations and rooming lists);
- Budgeting (estimates and final budget, relations with sponsors and exhibitors, registration fees and contributions, coordinating of EC, NATO contributions);
- Social Program and Refreshments (organizing of social events: social and gala dinners, concerts, luncheons, coffee breaks, excursions, accompayning persons program)
