Industrial tours + Turistic tour as a package are proposed under an extra fee (150 €). The program includes one Industrial Tour at one of the top companies operating in our region, as well as a typical Portuguese lunch and turistic program out of Porto. A bus with guide will depart from Porto (close to the Conference location, in downtown) and the program will take an entire day (June 22nd, 2023). It is estimated that program finishes about 7:30pm.
This is a good opportunity to learn a little bit more about technical issues related to Manufacturing, together with a little bit of Portuguese culture.
