This event is included in the congress registration and accompanying person ticket.
We invite you to join us at the President's Reception at the Old Tram Depot - Stara Zajezdnia Kraków, a historic building in the centre of Krakow's Kazimierz, one of the most vibrant nightlife district. The Hall was built in 1913 and was once a tram depot. The renovated building is a unique facility and an example of a rare wooden skeleton architecture in Krakow with brickwork, commonly called “Prussian Wall”. It gives the interior an unusual character and makes it a place with a soul and original atmosphere.
Relax and enjoy with your friends and colleagues in the historic interiors; taste the flavours of Polish cuisine and local beer produced in the Old Depot’s own microbrewery. Listen to the pleasant sounds of jazz in its Polish capital.
