Organization
Talks in all conference halls will begin at 10:00, so we ask that you arrive on time. Looking for a place to sit after a talk has started will not only disturb our speakers, but also your fellow audience members.
If you haven't decided what to see yet, you should check out the conference program and then, build your own.
Free Wi-Fi will be available for all conference attendees.
We will mainly be speaking English (and a bit of Czech) at this year’s WebExpo. The Great Hall will be English-only, and Lucerna Cinema will be introduced simultaneously in both Czech and English. Talks in the Lucerna Music Bar will not be translated to English or Czech.

Food and coffee
A morning snack will be served for free in the Lucerna Great Hall. This will include sweet baked goods from Bakeland and conference partner Rohlik.cz.

Coffee and water will be serving in front of every conference hall.
Lunch for all conference attendees is for subsidize price. You will find booths in the Lucerna Great Hall from around about 11:00. Both vegetarian and meat options will be available including soups, baguettes, salads, sushi, and coconuts (yes, coconuts!).
If you’re craving something else: we have also arranged the possibility to have lunch in the restaurant ROOM (about 200 meters from Lucerna Passage). We have also added other nearby lunch spots to our Foursquare map. We recommend making reservations during lunchtime.

When you register, you will get a printed program with all our talks. On the back, we’ll be playing a game of Conference Buzzword Bingo. Your card will have five rows and five columns. Cross off any words or phrases you hear during a talk, discussion or chat!
It’s not necessary to cross out the entire card - there are 25 boxes! All you need to win is a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line.
You can stop by any info point once your bingo card is filled. If you win during a party, send a DM to @webexpo on Twitter, and we’ll tweet you back.
