Welcome to the 37th IFWP Congress 2017 in Bocairent, Valencia, Spain, September 21-24, this year organized by the Spanish nature photography association AEFONA!
Please note that we had no offer to organize the congress from our members and finally we asked in short term AEFONA to organize it.

CONGRESS ROOM:
We have a projection room where our new exhibition from the 2017 competition will be available. We will meet there on 21st at 10,00 h for our General Assembly and all the presentations will take place there. There is place for 100 participants but if we are much more we can move to the theatre with 300 pax as plan B.
This is our meeting point for Thursday the 21st at 10,00 h.
Meeting Point: Radio Bocairent (Google Maps)
It is the same building that Radio Bocairent but at street level. The name of the street is Diputat Castelló, 46880, Bocairente, Valencia.
We have also a small Bar inside for drinks and chating.
ORGANIZATION:
As Bocairent is a small, charming town, lodging is not in a huge hotel, but in small hotels, houses, rooms... The way we do it this year is that every group or person makes own reservations of accommodation depending on everyone´s budget. Proposals are of all prices in the list below. For meals is the same, although we will find a place to have meals together, you can either do on your own way to discover the village corners, or come with the group and pay your consumption.
The payment of the congress fee, 15 euro, covers the Saturday night dinner together to say goodbye to all friends and participants.
