For the Reception by the City of Helsinki (Monday, Aug 20, at 7 pm), there are only 150 places due to space/security conditions. Given this, the City of Helsinki will be able to receive only the first 150 people registered to the conference.

For the Conference Dinner (Tuesday, Aug 21, 7 pm), all registered are welcome.
