2024 GMSIG Conference
Verona, ITALY
May 24 - 27, 2024
PRESENTED BY
CONFERENCE VENUE
Situated in the Veneto region of Northern Italy, the city of Verona was once a Roman settlement and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its exceptional importance across time in terms of geography, history, and culture.
As a Roman settlement established in 89 BC along the Adige River, Verona earned its nickname 'Piccola Roma' due to its importance during Roman times. However, the city's worldwide fame is largely attributed to its status as the setting of Shakespeare's famous play, Romeo and Juliet, which has made it a beloved destination for lovers and literature enthusiasts alike.
Aside from its cultural and historical significance, Verona has plenty to offer as a world-class tourist destination and the perfect Italian getaway spot.
