22@ District Map
The majority of the meetings will occur in the 22@ District of Barcelona, also known as Poblenou. This neighborhood is a stellar example of innovation and revitalization of an industrial neighborhood – meeting the demands of a information-based society built on the principles of sustainability.
GSTC members will be treated to a behind-the-scenes bus and walking tour hosted by the city of Barcelona showcasing their sustainability practices.
MEDIA-TIC Building
You’ll visit the iconic AGBAR Tower, the energy-generating MEDIA-TIC building, the water roof of the Forum 2004 and more. If time permits you may even get in a stroll along Barcelona’s beaches.
Each week we will provide more details on what you can expect when you get to Barcelona. Very soon we will provide details on special rate lodging
See you in Barcelona!
