SEMINARS
We listened to your feedback and made some changes to our seminar setup: - This year every seminar and speaker will have its’ own dedicated room to keep things close and personal - The spoken language will be mostly English (unless told otherwise) and will not be translated to guarantee a more natural flow during the session. - Asking questions during or after the seminar is always possible and advisable! - During registration, let us know which one of the seminars you will most likely attend to so we can act accordingly. - Discrete switching between rooms remains possible and first come, first serve will apply to guarantee yourself a seat.
