Seafront Walk & Aperitivo
Pre-Conference Seafront Walk & Aperitivo — hosted by Sovrano AI
Before ECML PKDD kicks off, come stretch your legs and meet fellow attendees along Naples' most beautiful stretch of coast. No talks, no badges, just a relaxed walk by the bay and a drink with good company.
Sunday 6 September · 15:00
Plan:
15:00 — Meet at Mergellina harbour (Largo Sermoneta — easy, unmistakable landmark, ~10-min taxi from the university)
15:05–15:45 — Walk east along the Lungomare (Via Caracciolo): flat, pedestrian seafront, sun behind us and Vesuvius ahead. Pure walk-and-talk.
15:45 — Arrive at Castel dell'Ovo / Borgo Marinari
15:45 onwards — Aperitivo or café on a waterside terrace
Come as you are. Comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and a willingness to chat. Everyone welcome: researchers, students, industry, first-timers.
Hope to see you by the water,
Khaled — Sovrano AI
