Important Updates

We are green.
We at BWS take protecting the environment and global warming very seriously. During our last event we had bio-degradable lanyards and now we are aiming at going even further to make our event a zero-carbon event.
Some rules we will follow
– Request organic, locally produced food and beverages to cut transportation emissions. Organic food and beverages do not use synthetic fertilizers or chemicals derived from fossil fuels.
– Eliminate disposable containers, plates, bowls, cups and cutlery.
– Set up a compost program for all food waste. Composting reduces the amount of waste going to landfills and cuts emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
– Choose suppliers that provide low-carbon products or services.
- Carbon offsets will be used to offset all emissions, including those from air travel, energy use (including electricity), vehicle use, etc.

Take your kid with you.
Every year there are several children whose parents haven’t been able to arrange a granny-nanny and have had to bring their child to the event with them. This year we will try to end the kiddie-boredom and paperball matches which usually take place in the dining area by organizing some activities for our youngest attendees:
Learn how to hack
We will organize a programming workshop for children aged 6-12 where they can learn how to start programming and/or to share their knowledge with the rest.
Have fun
Apart from that we are planning to hire an animator to make sure the children have fun while you are busy learning new modern web techniques from our speakers. Your kid will get this for free if you purchase a conference ticket.

Travel Safety Tips for Sofia
Despite its, at places, shabby appearance, Sofia is a safe city. Like in any big city, however, taking sensible precautions is advised.
Here are a few tips to enjoying Sofia safely:
- Do not walk alone at night and if you must, stay on well-lit streets.
– Exchange money at banks or exchange bureaus. Make sure you read all the small print before exchanging. Never exchange money on the street!
– Use only ATM’s in well-lit areas and, even better, ATM’s attached to bank offices.
– Pickpocketing often occurs on public transportation and crowded market places. Do not carry large sums, do not flash valuables, and have your belonging close to you at all times.
– Do not leave purses, phones, cameras or wallets on the table while dining at sidewalk restaurants and cafes.

FAQ
Common questions and answers about the event
- 4 stages? How can I see all the talks?
We will try to arrange the program based on topics of interest and without overlapping. Of course there is a great chance that you will have to choose between 2 sessions. In any case you will learn something new and you will also be able to talk to the speaker of the talk you missed later and to ask her/him everything you need to know.
Using the schedule as an excuse not to come is the most stupid one we could imagine. Sorry!
- Are you related somehow to The Summit?
No, we are not. In fact we think the summit is useless as a technology event, but this is our personal opinion.
We do respect the effort of the organizers.
- Why is your event so affordable?
Our goal is to create an affordable event, so anyone could come and learn and gain useful experience and connections. We keep the quality of the speakers very high and we are trying to make your stay at the venue as comfortable as possible.
We also count on our partners to help us with our mission.
- Are you affiliated with the “Bulgarian EU Presidency in 2018”?
We are so proud to announce that we are NOT affiliated with “Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the EU in 2018”.
