We’ve arrived at one of Vilnius Old Town’s most iconic landmarks — the stunning Vilnius Town Hall on Didžioji Street — for the official Welcome Reception of ICAME46. ✨

Set in one of the finest examples of neoclassical architecture in the city, Vilnius Town Hall isn’t just a beautiful venue — it’s a symbol of the city’s rich history, civic pride, and cultural heart. Tonight, it became the meeting point for participants from across the globe, many experiencing this architectural gem for the very first time.

After a full day of engaging sessions, corridor conversations, and first glimpses of the city, attendees gathered in this elegant, historic space to toast the beginning of an exciting journey together. 🥂🤝

The atmosphere was warm and festive — filled with laughter, shared reflections, and a growing sense of community. As the sun set over the cobbled streets of Vilnius Old Town, the Welcome Reception at Town Hall offered more than just refreshments — it offered a true sense of place.

With its grand columns, timeless charm, and deep connection to the city’s heritage, Vilnius Town Hall set the perfect stage for what ICAME is all about: global exchange, meaningful connection, and celebrating language, culture, and collaboration.

Good company, inspiring surroundings, and the promise of more to come — the perfect close to a rich and memorable first day at ICAME46.
