The first part of our meeting will be dedicated to short presentations in Pecha Kucha format, starting at 11.00 o’clock sharp. You will be able to hear stories and case studies about event management from the speakers listed below. Do not be shy and ask them any question that will pop up your mind – go ahead and make their day! After the “official” part, it is time for networking – behind and in front of the bar. We wish you to make the best out of it over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, however you like it best.
