Basel to Zermatt is roundabout 4 hours, either by train or by car (+ train as no cars are allowed there). Each way. Milan is more like 5 hours away. Each way. My wife would hate me forever for forcing this kind of torture as a day trip on her... Anyway, in November there is usually not much to see around the Alps other than clouds and Milan will be cold and rainy (if you draw a line on the map from Zermatt to Milano the midpoint is very close to where I had the luck to grow up - so I know what I am talking about).

I will know if I can attend only a couple days before because the nature of my work does not allow for long term planning. It will also depend on the program of course. If it is heavily centered around post 1985 LCD stuff I will probably rather stay home and try to repair some of the pre 1985 LED calculators piling up around me ;-)

NB: If I can attend I could offer to bring some navigation calculators (many of which of course have either an LED of fluorescent display otherwise I could not love them as deeply as they deserve) and maybe give a short talk about navigation tasks.
