Why come to Jordan

Present your research where three continents meet.

Jordan holds six UNESCO World Heritage sites in a country you can cross in a single day, and the conference sits in the middle of it. Two working days in Amman leave a weekend for the rest: a Nabataean city cut into rose-red sandstone, a desert valley of granite towers, the lowest shore on Earth, a Roman provincial capital still standing. Delegates who plan a few extra days around the sessions rarely regret them.
