We ask that you plan to arrive in Turin on October 21st, in the morning hours, and that you plan to depart on the 25th. It is ideal to select a departing flight that leaves midday or later since you may have lengthy travel from your housing to the airport.

* If you are planning to bring a spouse who is not a delegate, please note that Slow Food will not cover their transportation, lodging, meals or admittance into the event. Please make a note on the Flight and Housing form if you plan to find separate accommodations. In addition, please note that children under 18 are not permitted to attend Terra Madre and that, as a result, childcare will not be provided at the event.
