16 days left!

Our dear participants and inspiring speakers,

It is hard to believe that we have only 16 days left!

Every day we say "We are about to finish the preparation process." then we come up with different ideas, a new preparation process gives the start signal and we get down to work again. Even though it is not easy, we take pleasure while taking every single step..

In a few days, we will announce the program so that you can see when the conference starts, when and who speaks, and when it ends. The details related to service buses will be announced soon as well.

One final thing, especially the ones living away from Istanbul, we have a surprise for you! It will be declared in a few days, so stay tuned.

Looking forward to meeting you soon on a sunny day!
Büşra :)
