The congress takes place in Cascais, only 25 minutes west of Lisbon by train, and 35 minutes from Lisbon airport by car.  At the heart of the Estoril coast, Cascais has plenty to offer - castle ruins, an art museum, beautiful beaches as well as parks and a charming historic centre with shops and restaurants.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with me at sally.bradley@associationexecutives.org.

I hope to welcome you to Cascais for what will be a fantastic event!
