This is the web page for the International Workshop to celebrate Virpi Niemela's 70th birthday. The meeting topics will be strongly linked with fundamental parameters of massive stars and the interaction with their circumstellar material, and will be held at Cariló, Argentina from December 11th to 14th, 2006.

A larger (high resolution) image of the conference will be available soon (and many pictures).
