Are you like us, who thinks that networking is as big part of a conference as the sessions and the learning and knowledge sharing?

Do you also, like us, think that evening events with peers, customers, business partners and IBMers brings that extra special layer of a conference?

A moment where you can have more relaxed conversations and get to know people you wouldn’t otherwise? Good. Are you also ready to have fun? Even better.

You are most welcome to our Gala night after the first day of the conference, Thursday April 26, 2018

We at Social Connections take pride in not only giving you food and a place for networking, we also want to give you that little extra. A trip down memory lane among our earlier Gala nights: Sensapolis in Stuttgart where we did wall climbing and go-karting, Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto where we played ice hockey games and shot pucks on goals, Ace Bounce in Chicago where we played table tennis to name a few.

So what have we cooked up for you this time?

Let’s just say pool/billiards, darts and shuffle boards. Accompanied by food and refreshing beverages.

Welcome to Buffalo Billiards 118 Chestnut St. Philadelphia at 7:30 pm. Right after speed sponsoring at the conference venue. Dress code: business casual

Do you want in on all the fun? Register here for Social Connections 13 in Philadelphia. The IBM Collaboration conference with value. One free ticket to our Gala event is included!

See you!

Welcome to the Social Connections Gala night in Vienna!

Finding a venue for our Gala night is one of the most fun tasks when planning the Social Connections conference.

We all know our attendees look forward to the days with sessions, learning, networking and fun. We also know that our attendees almost as much look forward to our Gala night where they can wind down/wind up (whatever they prefer) after a day of conferencing with their peers, friends, colleagues, customers and partners.

Our Gala nights are often positively talked about long after the conference, which we are very happy for. So we always take time to find that place where we think we can achieve that special Social Connections Gala vibe we all like so much.

This time we found the oldest cellar vault in Vienna. Arrive hungry! The chefs here concentrate on traditional and fresh food, often from local producers.

The Melker Stiftskeller is part of the Melkerhof in Vienna’s Schottengasse 3 in the first district. A certificate from 1629 proves that there was a wine-cellar connected with the Melkerhof already at that time. The Melker Stiftskellers fine cuisine developed out of this wine-cellar.

In addition to the good food there will be some extra fun we can’t reveal yet.

So join us for an evening of good food and lots of laughter in a historic environment!

Melker Stiftskeller is located in Schottengasse 3, A-1010 Wien and is a 10 minute walk from our conference venue.
