There is no better place than spectacular Santiago de Cuba, Cuba’s second largest city, the birthplace of Cuban independence for such an exploration. Famous for its hospitality, Santiago lies along the sea at the foothills of the eastern Sierra Maestra mountains. It is not to be missed!
And there is more that makes this MEDICC conference special:
- It offers you an opportunity to visit Cuba legally; the conference meets all US travel regulations for professional meetings.
- This can be a family affair…spouses, other relatives and those sharing your household are welcome under US law.
- No more sitting around! Our interactive sessions take to the streets and the hillsides, designed as experiences to share with Cubans involved in fascinating projects related to the conference theme.
- Once you register, you can choose among specific conference activities to fit your expertise, background and interests, to build a full conference schedule.
- The venue is elegant and comfortable…the 5-star Meliã Santiago Hotel. Marazul has arranged a conference land package at special rates.
- The conference’s affordable pricing includes registration, hotel, and much more…and you can fly from the USA directly to Holguín in eastern Cuba, and travel by air-conditioned bus to the heart of Santiago. Marazul has pre-reserved flights on for the conference. See Registration & Travel.
- And finally, for the adventurous, an added day on December 9th offers a session taking you with historians to the headquarters of Fidel Castro’s Rebel Army in the Sierra Maestra mountains. Simply unforgettable.
