You can reach the Ages² Symposium 2017 venue in the following ways:

• By plane to Pisa or Roma Fiumicino airport, and then using the meeting buses provided.
• By train to Piombino Marittima, ferry-boat to Portoferraio. A  shuttle bus will be available upon request to connect the symposium site and Portoferraio harbour.
