It is a singular, open and integrating destination that allows visitors not only to view the city but also to live an exceptional urban adventure. Buenos Aires is the leader in Latin America regarding to art, culture and tradition. Its night is a legend of its own, filled with lights, magic and mystery. You can choose from a diversity of art expositions, museums and entertainment, including a typical and exciting football game.

IAG2009 will be an event that covers the whole of geodesy in an exciting social environment that extends our knowledge, improves our practice, and widens our friendship networks. Following the long outstanding tradition of these scientific assemblies, IAG2009 will be a major scientific event, bringing together geodesists from all over the world, and demonstrating the vital role that geodesy plays in our society.
