I wanted to present my colleagues from the five continents with a taste of Portuguese tradition. Here it is the famous “Pastéis de Belém”.

Portuguese night at the Restaurant “Clube de Fado”. The sound of a Portuguese Guitar with Portuguese traditional cooking (codfish was the dish choosen) at the ancient Lisbon, in Alfama, gave a different color!

Fado singer Cuca Roseta ended the night.

I believe that everyone enjoyed Lisbon. I was very pleased how things went. The meetings were extensive but fruitful. In several aspects FDI won with this decision on organizing the meetings in Lisbon. Thank you Lisbon!
