The Gala Dinner will be one of the highlights of the conference. The Hamburg Port Authority has chosen to hold the event at Hamburg’s Fish Auction Hall [Fischauktionshalle]:  The traditional atmosphere of the market hall, situated directly on the banks of the River Elbe with a view of the harbour, will be a perfect setting. The event itself will be equally fascinating. Guests will be taken back in time to the 1960s when a band kicked off one of the greatest musical careers ever in Hamburg: the Beatles.
