The Social Programme

Everything happens on board. No transfers, no taxis, and nowhere for the conversation to break up.
01

The DEXS 5K

Tuesday 13 April, 06:45
Departing from the ss Rotterdam

Five kilometres along the Maas before the day starts, out from Katendrecht and back along the waterfront.

Flat, well lit and one of the better runs you will get at a conference. Open to all delegates whatever your pace, with a lead runner at the front and a sweeper at the back so nobody gets left behind.

Back on board by 07:45, in good time for registration.

Free to join, but places are limited. Please contact info@decomexecutionsummit.com to register.

Gala Dinner and Recognition Awards

Tuesday 13 April, from 19:00
The Grand Ballroom

The flagship dinner of the summit, held in the ship’s principal ballroom. A drinks package is included throughout, and the DEXS Recognition Awards are presented over dinner across six categories, judged across basins rather than within one.

Farewell Drinks

Wednesday 14 April, 16:45 to 18:15

All delegates

Staying Aboard

12 to 15 April

The ss Rotterdam is a working hotel as well as the summit venue. A delegate room rate is held for the summit nights, with breakfast included and no transfer between hotel and conference at either end of the day.

Rooms are released in stages, so early booking is worth it, particularly for anyone staying through to the yard tour on 15 April.

Booking details to follow.
