General Information

The Crowne Plaza Dead Sea is the conference venue.

The Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth 417 meters below sea level, is the world’s largest “Natural Spa”. This one of a kind body of water is the saltiest and most mineral laden in the world – everyone can float in its water.

The Dead Sea area is also rich in history, from biblical to modern and the year round sunshine and magnificent natural landscape provide the ideal setting for our conference.

For Geoscientists, the Dead Sea area offers several phenomena: from impressive Table Mountains to bizarre surface structures and textures. For the latter, you are kindly invited to download the following PowerPoint Show:
