IAPWS Conference Dinner
Wednesday 25 June 2025
Join your colleagues for dinner in the Banquet Hall of Tenaille von Fersen, on Suomenlinna, a World Heritage Site with a Sea Fortress.
Guests will travel by ferry from Hanaholmen terminal leaving at 1700 hours to Suomenlinna, Artillery Bay ( 50 minutes). Guests will enjoy a glass of bubbles or a glass of beer and some canapes on the journey to the dinner venue. Please note – at the end of June, the weather should be pretty and calm and the route from Hanaholmen to Suomenlinna is quite nice. If you are very sensitive to seasickness, we recommend taking travel sickness medication, as there are always going to be some little waves at sea. Ferry departs Suomenlinna at 2130 hours for transport back to Hanaholmen.
Alternatively for the return departure from Suomenlinna, delegates staying in City Center may instead want to take the public ferry – This goes directly to Market Square, with departure service until 22:40 hours, for approximately €3.20 (travel time 15 minutes). These are 2024 prices and times and may alter slightly. Update will be provided closer to the conference here. The distance from the dinner to the public ferry is approximately 1 km.
Ticket for dinner included in full registration.
Additional tickets can be purchased for €50.
