General InformationCongress VenueIstanbul Convention and Exhibition CentreHarbiye 34267 Istanbul Turkey Tel: +90 212 296 30 55 Fax: +90 212 224 08 78 Turkey’s magnificent past of 13 successive civilizations spanning
10,000 years has infused a land full of historic treasures. Even if
you spend only a short time in Turkey, you can see much of this great
heritage. Although renowned for its mystery and history, Turkey is also
a rapidly modernising country with a prime location; one foot in Europe
and one in the Middle East. Thus Turkey retains its fascinating differences,
and its contradictions: mosques coexist with churches, and remnants
of the Roman Empire still stand alongside ancient Hittite and Neolithic
sites. An immensely rewarding place to visit, not least because of the
people, whose reputation for friendliness and hospitality is richly
deserved. ITALIAN DELEGATESThe Official Agent appointed to represent ECPM 2008 for the collection of Italian delegate registrations is:MCA Events srl Via G.
