EHMA members attending will witness
how passion has influenced the lives
of a number of inspiring international
sportsmen, entrepreneurs, managers and
academics who will unveil their incredible
experiences on stage.

Situated two hours from Zurich and just one
hour from Milan, the lovely city of Lugano
is the largest in the Italian-speaking part of
Switzerland, the Mediterranean “Canton
Ticino”.
The city lies in a bay on the northern side
of Lake Lugano, surrounded by Mount San
Salvatore and Mount Brè, both offering
breath-taking views of the city, the lake
and the alpine scenery.
The strong Mediterranean flair can be
enjoyed with a stroll through the town centre,
with its beautiful squares and arcades, along
the tree-shaded lake promenade and in the
numerous parks with typical sub-tropical
plants, like the Parco Ciani.
Top-rated gastronomy and prize-winning
wine production, along with Mediterranean
temperatures, splendid views and a packed
calendar of events, all invite visitors to this
corner of Switzerland – best enjoyed while
relaxing in the shade of the ubiquitous palm
trees!
