The Eighteenth World Congress will be held in Santa Fe, Mexico City. Santa Fe is Mexico City's fastest growing commercial and residential area in recent years. Fully connected to the main areas of the city, with superb access roads, such as Puerta Santa Fe, this area offers top-quality services and a broad array of stores, hotels, restaurants and hospitals that make it a state-of- the-art corporate, residential and commercial zone. Santa Fe stands just 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) from historic downtown Mexico City. It is a good idea to stay for an extra few days after the Congress to get to know historic Mexico. Mexico City is a fascinating capital that beguiles its visitors with endless options. Full details of the scientific program members can be seen below.
