The conference gets underway on Sunday, 5th March with Delegate Registration followed by a Welcome Reception, both at the CTICC. The Welcome Reception will allow the Hosts and organisers to welcome the delegates and accompanying partners to Cape Town and provide and opportunity for participants to get to know each other.

The conference will run from Monday through Thursday and will consist of traditional plenary sessions as well as the Marketplace – a new look at conference methodology promising a vibrant and interactive alternative to traditional workshops and poster presentations.

A Gala Dinner will be held for all delegates and accompanying persons on Wednesday, 8th March. This event will add an element of glamour to the conference proceedings, and afford guests an opportunity to relax and enjoy an evening of music, dancing and gourmet food.

Technical and Site Visits will be available for delegates on Friday, 10th March, and other non-conference activities will also be available for delegates still in Cape Town over the weekend.

The end of the conference coincides with the Cycle Tour Expo, a huge cycling and lifestyle exhibition running for the three days prior to the Cape Argus Pick n’ Pay Cycle Tour.

All delegates are encouraged to participate in the Cape Argus Pick ‘n Pay Cycle Tour, Cape Town’s most famous event and the world’s largest timed sporting event. Despite the difficulty in securing a Cycle Tour entry, all Velo Mondial 2006 delegates will be guaranteed an entry into the Cycle Tour if they wish to ride. On Sunday, 12th March, a Supporters Programme for non-riders will be arranged and will meet up with riders at the finish line festivities.

Velo Mondial 2006 delegates can register for the Cycle Tour on their delegate registration form. Please see the Information & Registration page. For more information on the Cycle Tour, please visit the Cape Argus Pick ‘n Pay Cycle Tour website.
