Climate
Every cloud has a silver lining...
As the old Scottish saying goes, "there's no such thing as
bad weather, only the wrong clothes!" Glasgow’s high la-
titude means a moderate mostly warm climate with tem-
perature between 15°C (50°F) and 20°C (61°F) in May. Light
showers can occur daily this time of the season.
Press
Journalists should bring their press ID and register at the
registration counter.
Insurance
The congress fee does not include insurance. All participants
should arrange for their own insurance. Health and accident
insurance is recommended and has to be purchased in your
country of origin.
