Beyond the talks
Unforgettable Experiences
The talks were only half of it. These are the moments people still bring up.
-
The Friday trip
The day after the talks, we took the train to the Bucegi mountains and went hiking with new friends.
-
The Friendly Gameshow
Everyone got a Golden Ticket at check-in, for a chance to play live on stage.
-
The Hack Space
A cozy corner for pairing, experimenting and turning ideas into prototypes.
-
One track of talks
Everyone sat in the same room, so nobody had to choose between talks.
-
Dancing the hora
Everyone joined in to learn a traditional Romanian dance.
-
Walking Bucharest
A guided walk through "Little Paris" after the first day of talks.
