Taco's Bar - Ice Breaker
Join together at the Taco’s Bar to have a friendly drink and meet each other in a relaxed environment. Each conference attendee will receive two vouchers for free drinks. We first suggest to meet on Monday evening for an Ice breaker event. This place will remain the central meeting point for the following nights except for the social event on Thursday. A large selection of dishes is available at the Taco’s Bar. Thus you can have supper there. Here are the planned slots to meet at Taco’s Bar: Monday, September 11th 6:00 pm - 23:30 pm, Tuesday, September 12th 8:00 pm - 23:30 pm, Wednesday, September 14th 8:00pm - 23:30 pm

Cult Club
Just after the Social Event at the Chillon Castle, for those of you who want to prolong the party, let’s meet at the Cult Club in Lausanne. The buses will bring you from Chillon to Lausanne City, the buses will first stop at the Cult club and go on to the hotels for those who are too tired. Each bus will drive to specific hotels. Watch carefully the indication on the buses.
