Palacio Municipal de Congresos (Campo de las Naciones)

Welcome Party
     
The Palacio del Negralejo was built in 1790 on the ruins of a 17th century castle. Some cellars and passageways from the castle remain as well as the cottages, granaries, stables, courtyards and chapel from the 18th century building, which was the centre of an agricultural community. This unique complex has now been converted into a venue for celebrations and it is in this unique bit of ‘country within the city’ that we will hold our Welcome Party.
It promises to be an unforgettable evening recreating the sensations and experiences of the whole of Spain. Spanish food and wine will be served. Welcome to Spain!
Coach transport will be provided from the Palacio Municipal de Congresos (Campo de las Naciones) |

This grand and historical setting is the perfect place to catch a glimpse of the Madrid of an earlier age and this will prove to be a memorable evening – food from the kitchens of the 3 Michelin Star chef Ferran Adria, fine wines, opera singers performing from the balconies of the magnificent hallways, classical guitarists and much more. Truly a fitting farewell to Madrid.

Notes:
Social function tickets will NOT be confirmed until full payment is received at the IBA office. If full payment is not received by Friday 4 September, then tickets will be released without further notice. Tickets, where relevant, must be purchased for children over 13 years old. Some social functions may not be suitable for young children and, if this is the case, the IBA reserves the right not to admit them.
Ticket amendments and returns
All social function ticket bookings must be finalised by close of business on Wednesday 23 September. After this date all amendments, returns and purchases of social function tickets will only be possible upon arrival at the conference. Please note that new ticket purchases will be subject to availability at the conference. Refunds, subject to a 15 per cent administration charge, for returned tickets will only be made if the ticket is resold. All refunds will be made from the London office after the conference.
Social function prices
The IBA does not mark up ticket prices or make a profit from social functions. Dining in a large group will sometimes cost more than dining individually because of additional costs such as room hire, transport, decoration, etc.
Committee socials
A full list of committee social functions and a booking form will be sent to all delegates.
Dress code
The conference dress code is business attire for working sessions and smart casual for social events unless otherwise stated.
