Good food, cold drinks, and interesting conversations in a relaxed atmosphere.
After an informative day at the symposium, we’d like to wrap up the evening with you in a relaxed setting.
Look forward to a sumptuous BBQ featuring delicious grilled specialties, a variety of side dishes, and a selection of beverages. Take this opportunity to strengthen personal connections, make new acquaintances, and exchange ideas in a relaxed atmosphere away from the technical presentations.
The best part: Food and drinks are, of course, free for you!
We’ll start at 6:30 p.m. The event is scheduled to end at 8:00 p.m. But as we all know, the best conversations often happen when time is no longer a factor.
Sign up now. We look forward to spending a fun evening with you!
