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.

I would like to thank you for organizing the seminar which was really valuable, interesting, and very well prepared..
Very interesting topics presented during the Conference, all the lectures presented in a fair and professional, also attached to these lectures materials are of high quality. In addition, by the fact that the Conference was involved such a large number of people from different industries could also consult and discuss on a variety of topics not necessarily related to the topic of seminars conducted, resulting from the daily duties performed in their companies […] With certainly in the future I would use the next invitation to the Conference.
All the issues discussed at the conference were presented at a very high level.
Worth the money spent.
Level seminar in every respect was above my expectations. I am pleased with the participation and will encourage friends to participate in the next editions. Of course, I will also want to take part.
