Networking events

Both networking events ‘Dinner’ and ‘Rhine cruise incl. barbecue and buffet’ are important programme items and essential parts of the conference, which serve the personal and professional exchange of participants in an informal atmosphere. To register for the networking events, registration for the conference is mandatory.

Please note that spaces are limited for the networking events and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. If your circumstances change after booking your ticket, please inform us so that we can give your place to someone else.

We will always set off together and walk from the venue to the network events. Details of the individual networking events will be communicated on site and will be published here as the event approaches.
