Each of the tests will be provided with comments by an expert. The show will last more than one hour, so make sure you get dressed well.

Common dinner in Al Capone style
The dinner closes the first day of the conference. This is the time to rest and relax. Like every year, we have a surprise for the conference participants. This time, the dinner will be held in Al Capone style. Every woman will get a feather boa and every man will get a classical hat – the absolute must attributes of that time. The guests will get a special currency to spend on illegal spirits, gabling at the casino or on valuable forfeits. The cash may be earned already during the lectures – we wish the conference to reply to the real problems of its participants, so we have planned the time for questions and answers after each lecture, while every question will be rewarded with a banknote. The key event of the dinner will be a live concert – a standing point of all our conferences.
