UPDATES ON GDIN2002
June 18-22, 2002, Rome Italy
Sponsor: Dr. Raniero Guerra, MD, Director General, International Relations,
Instituto Superiore di Sanita, Italy.
Statement by the United States Ambassador to
Italy
Agenda (click here)
Venue of Conference: The conference was held at S. Spirito Monumental Building (near to S. Spirito
Hospital) Borgo S. Spirito, 2, Rome. This was just next to Vatican City and
held the Accademia de Storia Dell Arte Sanitaria, an ancient
hospital formed by Pope Innocent III (1198-1216) and is now both a major
modern working hospital as well as a beautiful museum to the history of
medical care. Each room we used was in effect a gallery, some with
exhibits individually worth over a million dollars each. See
www.sameint.it/accade/struttur.htm and
www.sameint.it/accade/museo.htm.
Rooms: A large high hallway capable of holding 800, was used for
plenary sessions. Massive mobile wooden panels will divide the room
up into a plenary chamber and a display chamber with room for the press.
Behind this hall was a twin, which was used for displays and booths.
Separate were six of seven chambers of various sizes, which were
used for working group meetings and an office for the GDIN Staff. One
hall in particular was designated for meetings by the Infectious
Disease Working Group, because of the medical paintings on the walls.
Conference Language: Italian and English with simultaneous translation.
Amenities: The Conference Halls had a direct access to a room with ATM,
a bar, restaurant and two large courtyards with fountains and covered
edges which would be used for outdoor lunches and special events, to
include a gala event on the penultimate night for guests and families.
The exterior also has a number of areas for private talks, is just
across from the Tiber River and seconds from St. Peters.
