Social Events

Whether you are the natural-born networker or think that networking does not come natural, our conference social events are excellent networking opportunities; participants and speakers get together at good venues and the atmosphere is relaxed and informal. The social events are integral to our conferences and have been so since the start in 2005. The social events are included in the conference attendance fee. Just remember to register your attendance at the respective events.
