DATE Party | Networking Event (Wednesday, March 21, 2018)

The DATE Party traditionally states one of the highlights of the DATE week. As one of the main networking opportunities during the DATE week, it is a perfect occasion to meet friends and colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere while enjoying local amenities. It is scheduled on March 21, 2018, from 1900 to 2300.

This year, it will take place in one of Dresden’s most recognized museum locations, the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum Dresden, which attracts over 300,000 international visitors per year.

The Deutsches Hygiene-Museum was founded in 1912 and is a unique museum location. Unlike its traditional name, the museum offers nowadays not just hygiene in the medical or colloquial way. Moreover, visitors may explore in the permanent collection “Adventure Human Being” how people shape their environment and affect society as a physical and intellectual being, and how they are influenced by it vice versa. The museum is located close to the city center and will offer a special setting for the DATE Party 2018.

Please kindly note that it is not a seated dinner.

All delegates, exhibitors and their guests are invited to attend the party. Please note that entrance is only possible with a valid party ticket. Each full conference registration includes a ticket for the DATE Party (which needs to be booked during the online registration process though). Additional tickets can be purchased on-site at the registration desk (subject to availability of tickets). Price for extra ticket: 70 € per person.

Interactive Presentations (sponsored by the Cadence Academic Network)

Interested attendees can walk around freely and talk to any author they want in a vivid face-to-face format. IP presentations will also be accompanied by a poster. Each IP will additionally be introduced in a relevant regular session prior to the IP Session in a one-minute presentation.

To give an overview, there will be one central projection displaying a list of all the presentations going on at the same time in the IP area. Interactive Presentation (IP) Sessions will be held in the foyer of the Conference Level in 30-minute time slots on the following days:
