Photo album "GP is Back on the Table"
[As it is customary, it will be a one-day event, with a welcome dinner on the Friday and a farewell dinner on the Sat. There is no registration fee (i.e., no fancy promo pens will be given away in the registration package so you'd better bring your own ;) ), and you'll have to pay your own bill at the welcome dinner. However, during the day there will be coffee and snacks, and a cold sandwich lunch provided. At the end of the day, all participants will be invited to a three-course farewell dinner. Each speaker will be given an official certificate of participation (if you do not present but need one, let us know).]
Registration and abstract submission
[Abstract submission was closed on 30 September 2017. We are still accepting audience-only registrations here (we need you to register for reasons of catering).
In the form, you are asked to indicate if you plan to present (in which case you are asked to add a title and a brief, max. 1-page abstract) or to attend as audience only (in which case we need you to register for reasons of catering). As is traditional, talks will be assigned on a "first come first served" basis (based on the receipt of the full abstract). Abstract submission is possible either directly in the form, or in email (to bbkati@yahoo.com).]

The venue
The venue is the Budapest building of our university (http://btk.ppke.hu/en), in the centre of the city, 1 Mikszáth tér ("Sophianum"), close to the National Museum and the (new) campus of ELTE University (and just a few steps away from KRE University, for that matter), with excellent facilities nearby and all the public transport one can ask for (incl. metro lines 3 and 4 ("Kálvin tér"), metro line 2 ("Astoria" or "Blaha Lujza tér") and tram no. 4-6 ("Harminckettesek tere")):
https://btk.ppke.hu/karunkrol/kepzesi-helyszineink/budapest-sophianum (in Hungarian, but with nice photos and a video even ;) )
Instructions in English: https://btk.ppke.hu/en/about/campuses (our venue is "Budapest, Sophianum")
Both dinner venues are in the close vicinity of Sophianum.
Please note that besides the "good old" taxi or bus+metro (with a transfer ticket for HUF530) routes, now there is also direct bus service between the centre of Budapest and the airport (line no. 100E, timetables downloadable here, for HUF900, tickets are available from ticket machines, or from the driver but you should have the exact amount ready). In late evenings (after 20:30) and at weekends metro line 3, connecting the city centre and the airport, is now closed for reconstruction works and is replaced by buses (more info). Tickets and passes. Budapest public transport maps. Journey planner.
