Dinner and Social Get-Together

Be prepared for a lavish Royal Hunting Feast in a medieval restaurant Olde Hansa. Olde Hansa was established to honour the Hanseatic League and our forefathers and foremothers. Olde Hansa is the home of a rich merchant. His house is built in a manner to increase the enjoyment of the happy moments in the life of a Hanseatic merchant. Not just for eating delicious food and savoring good drink, but also for the enjoyment of good music and the warmth of heart and home during the Hanseatic times.

After the dinner everybody are invited back to Nordic Hotel Forum, where we have prepaid one drink per participant in the hotel lobby bar. We wish you an enjoyable evening and a lot of interesting discussions!

Exhibition

As usually, a mini exhibition will take place in frames of Test Forum event where vendors are welcome to present their tools and methodologies related to production test. Exhibitors can make arrangements with NTF about exhibition space. If nothing special has been agreed, a table of about 70x140 cm2, as well as space for posters or similar material will be provided. Every exhibitor will be given about 5-minute slot in the program for a brief introduction.
