You can count on WebExpo to keep you well-fed and hydrated! Water and hot drinks from Doubleshot and LMC Tea Room will be available all day.

More

Of course! On Saturday, there will be a hackathon sponsored by Česká spořitelna on the first balcony of the Lucerna Great Hall.

And on Sunday, Erika Hall will be teaching you how to research on any budget. Don’t miss the Research Together workshop

I’m kind of shy, how can I get involved in networking?

More

Don’t worry! Hang around the networking spots and keep an eye out for people with the same color badge lanyards. You’ll also find common ground at our partner stands with both exhibitors and other participants.

Or play the WebExpo Game on social media!

All you have to do is post on Facebook or Twitter with the hashtag #webexpo and do at least three of the following:

  1. Decorate a pancake in Games & Crepes. They’ll be plenty of nutella and whipped cream!
  2. Take a selfie with the most famous symbol in Lucerna - the upside down horse.
  3. Show off your poetic genius and write a couple of verses about WebExpo (or up to 140 characters if you’re on Twitter).
  4. Take a selfie with a fellow professional wearing the same color lanyard! Orange stands for business, pink for design, and green for development. We bet that you’ll have more to chat about than your selfie.
  5. High-five someone at one of our partner stands.

Have you completed at least 3 tasks? Stop by Info Point 1 in the Lucerna Great Hall and we’ll give you a gift from WebExpo.

WebExpo Tip: And if none of the above worked? You’ll definitely come out of your shell at one of our WebExpo parties.
