The spectacular conference dinner was held across three of Cambridge's most beautiful college dining halls, connected by large AV screens and with the Gonville and Caius Choir moving between the halls to perform. This was the largest group to dine together in the university's long history and the seating plan allowed for some fantastic discussions between senior academics, researchers, industry representatives, accompanying people, guests and the organising committee.
The dinner started with drinks served on the lawns overlooking the river with the sun setting behind the trees, before being led into the dining halls for starters.
Professor Glenn Daehn announced during a speech that the 13th ICTP will be held in Ohio state, USA.
