The forty-seventh CALPHAD International Conference will be held in Juriquilla, México from May 27 to June 2, 2018. Juriquilla is a small, colonial village that has recently been incorporated into the city of Santiago de Querétaro, Querétaro, México. It was founded as an hacienda in the 18th century, with the village of Juriquilla being founded around it. Now, the hacienda has been transformed into a five stars hotel (current conference venue) and the neighborhood around it has been developed as a residential and touristic area.
