- coffee breaks with delicacies from the pastry shop and savory snacks,
- a varied lunch buffet,
- and drinks throughout the day.
This will allow you to recharge your batteries for lectures and discussions—and give you plenty of opportunity for networking during the breaks.
Social dinner
On the evening of the first day of the conference, we invite all participants, sponsors, and speakers to a joint dinner. In addition to a relaxed end to the day, the focus here is on exchange: professional discussions, insights from the community, and new ideas are particularly easy to share over good food. The diner will take place at the conference hotel. The free registration can be made during the purchase process.
