Let's meet in Verona

A gateway to culture, connectivity, and culinary excellence

Welcome to Verona, the host city of our 2026 conference — a place where strategic location meets authentic charm. Ideally located at a major European crossroads, Verona offers seamless access to neighboring countries and is just 1.5 hours by high-speed train from Milan International Airport. Surrounded by natural and cultural wonders like Lake Garda, Venice, the Alps, and the Dolomites, it’s a perfect base for exploration. The region is also known for its deep-rooted tradition in animal farming and artisanal food production, offering delegates the chance to experience world-famous culinary icons.

Verona is a highly popular tourist destination, and the ICAR Annual Conference coincides with a national Italian holiday. This means hotels may fill up quickly, and early booking will help ensure you find suitable lodging at the best rates.
