The next SEC annual meeting will take place in Magdeburg. As always, you can look forward to an interesting lecture program, a cultivated atmosphere, a well-organized supporting program and, last but not least, lots of sideline discussions. The GDCh's official conference website has been activated since the beginning of August 2023. You can register for the Conference there.

Location

In Magdeburg we can meet, stay overnight and eat under one roof: the Dorint- Hotel Herrenkrug, located directly on the right bank of the Elbe. For example, you can reach Magdeburg from Frankfurt or Munich in 4 hours, Berlin is 2 hours and Hamburg 3 hours away.

The “Otto city” of Magdeburg looks back on an eventful history. The city's two namesakes are Otto I (the Great, 912-973), the founder of the Holy Roman Empire, and Otto von Guericke (1602-1686), known for his experiments on air pressure. The Magdeburg Cathedral is a pioneering achievement of the Gothic style on German soil.
