Main Hall is the place to be…
… you won’t know when. You won’t know how. But at some point in the Main Hall… something under your seat might just surprise you. Multiple times on Friday and Saturday. May the odds be in your favor.
Written in the stars
Just outside Hall BEE, the fame is fake but the photos are fabulous. The lights are on, the carpet’s rolled out, and your close-up is calling. No ticket? No problem. Everyone’s A-list today. STAR Channels presents: the only red carpet where your name is spelled right.
The €150 sit-uation with Sport Vision
Sometimes, under your seat in the main hall, there’s a Sport Vision voucher worth €150. Sometimes, there’s just dust. Life’s a gamble. Sit wisely.
Free Martini Fiero & Tonic?
What’s red, cold, and already paid for? A vibrant aperitivo with a refreshingly bold taste — Martini Fiero & Tonic! You can get yours at the Schweppes Zone near the conference terrace with the coupon you got when you registered. Cheers!
