Any specialties
Markdown accepted.
Type in anything that is special about this event and not similar to other events. This should be something with organisational value and open for everyone attending. A "speakers dinner" before the event for example does not qualify as it is not open to everyone attending. A special guest or an important keynote does not qualify either as this is nothing of organisational importance but rather content. Specialties that could be mentioned are for example an award ceremony, a public pre- or afterparty, an open speaker's corner and similar things.
