/ Our conference
The annual conference is the centrepiece of the AG Chameleons. Every year in spring, like-minded people meet at our conference to exchange experiences, listen to exciting presentations and, of course, simply chat with old and new friends. Our next conference will take place from
16 to 18 May 2025
This year we are meeting in beautiful Boppard am Rhein. The conference venue is the town hall on the market square. Hotels and guesthouses are available throughout Boppard, and the market square is within walking distance of the entire town centre. Boppard has a railway station, which is served by trains from Koblenz and Mainz. Experience has shown that the rooms in Boppard are always fully booked early, so it’s not worth booking too late. Please also register for the conference below on this page!
