Join us for a social event on the second evening of the General Assembly! Look forward to a relaxed evening at DogTap (by BrewDog) Berlin-Mariendorf, with bowling, shuffleboards, a photo booth, pizza, and drinks in good company. A private bus will take all participants directly from the BAM to DogTap. You can use public transportation for the return trip to your accommodations—we will show you the relevant connections on site.
Places are limited to 60 participants – so be sure to secure your spot early! Participation costs €36 and is booked in addition to the General Assembly ticket. You can book the social event either directly when registering for the General Assembly or, if you are already registered, via this link.
The price includes a welcome drink, an additional drink, a pizza buffet, an hour of shuffleboard and bowling, and use of a photo booth and cloakroom during the evening. The bus ride there is also included.
