Friday, August 23, 19:00 – 23:00
Bratislava Castle

Participants are invited to register for the highlight of the networking program: the EFA Conference Dinner.

This year the Conference Dinner will take place at the Baroque Garden of Bratislava Castle, which offers wonderful views of the city and the Danube River.

A team of skilled chefs will curate a menu inspired by the Baroque Garden of Bratislava Castle. The dinner aims to be a delightful experience for both the taste buds and the eyes. Guests will have the opportunity to witness the preparation of delicious dishes right in front of them.

In case of adverse weather conditions, the Conference Dinner will be held inside the castle premises – in the former Riding hall and the Bastion.

The main musical act of the evening will feature the Radio Band led by Mr. Radovan Tariška. Comprising renowned jazz musicians from both domestic and foreign backgrounds, the Radio Band is spearheaded by the esteemed jazzman Radovan Tariška, who is a saxophonist, arranger, music producer, teacher, and editor at Slovak Radio. Drawing from his extensive experience in international and domestic performances, as well as studio recordings of jazz and related popular music genres, Radovan Tariška brings a wealth of expertise to the event.

The Radio Band will be joined by the jazz enthusiast and iconic performer Peter Lipa, as well as the remarkable singer Svetlana Rymarenko.
Further enhancing the musical atmosphere will be DJ Koki, who specializes in music genres such as funk, soul, breakbeat, and nu jazz. He will be creating a live blend of pleasant city lounge music for the enjoyment of the guests.

The dinner costs €95 per person, which is not included in the conference registration fee. Only participants who, as part of their EFA 2024 registration, also registered for the Conference Dinner are admitted.

If you have not registered for the Conference Dinner and you wish to attend, please visit us at the registration desk. Participants can register their partner or a guest (1+1).  If interested, it is necessary to sign up at the registration desk. The organizers will then register you through the Conftool registration system. You will subsequently make the payment via the Go-Pay payment gateway, the same way you paid for the conference registration. The organizer does not accept cash payments. The Conference Dinner has limited capacity.
