Do I need to prepare for the Happy Hour?

Yes, definitely! The popular Happy Hour event will take place at the Business Bistro, on Friday 3 June from 18.00 to 19.00. This is your opportunity to attract participants by offering special and typical snacks and/or drinks. 

In previous Happy Hour editions, some exhibitors were very good at attracting participants to their booth. Their secret: 

• They brought drinks and/or snacks from their country or region - everyone is curious to try out different things! 

• They had something fun to do/talk about at their booth 

• They hung festive flags / distributed fun and attractive giveaways... 

We listened to exhibitors' request and we do not provide additional alcoholic drinks in order not to compete with what exhibitors will be offering at their booth. 

Yes: thirsty and hungry participants will need to come to your booth and network! 

But we do help you out with: 

• Fridge space: more about the fridges below 

• Wine glasses & cutlery: more about the glasses below

I brought drinks & snacks that need to be refrigerated. Where can I store them till the Happy Hour? 

The Business Bistro staff will take you to the refrigerated space where you can store your drinks and snacks until the Happy Hour. 

[↑]

I need extra glasses and cutlery. How can I ask for more? 

If you wish to order some wine glasses – free of charge if within a reasonable amount – please ask the caterer in the Business Bistro directly. 

Dishes and cutlery are also available, to cut hard cheese or display delicious traditional chocolates!  You'll just need to ask the staff on site.
