Welcome Reception

Join us as we celebrate the Festival of Lights with an evening filled with joy, culture, and togetherness. Get ready to immerse yourself in the vibrant colours, delicious cuisine, and lively music of Diwali. With the warm glow of lanterns and the sweet fragrance of incense, it promises to be an enchanting evening.

As part of our Diwali-themed Welcome Reception, we’d love for everyone to embrace the vibrant spirit of the festival. Diwali is all about light, positivity, and new beginnings, and bright and colourful outfits are a great way to capture that energy. While there’s no strict dress code, we kindly invite all delegates to don bright and colourful attire to match the festive vibe.

Whether you go all out or just add a splash of colour, we’d appreciate your participation in whatever way feels right for you.

Looking forward to a colourful kickstart to the Congress!
