Dress Code
Our focus is on learning – so please dress however you like, as long as it helps you stay comfortable throughout the day. Some prefer a shirt and a jacket, while others may opt for jerseys of FC Industriales or F.C. Nassaji Mazandaran – all these options are fine; our strength lies in our diversity. As a reference, here’s the gallery from Summit XI that gives a good idea of how people dress.
Weather Advice
All the presentations, as well as breakfasts, lunches and dinners, happen outdoors under the tents, with the sides kept open (we prioritize clean air). At this time of the year in Berlin, the temperature should be between the low of 🌤️ 13C/55F at night and the high of 🌤️ 22C/75F at daytime. We recommend sunglasses as well as light jackets, to stay comfortable both at the peak of the day, with full sun, and at evenings, with a bit of wind (and maybe even some light rain).
Venue
The courtyard of KPM Hotel & Residences serves as both the social venue (registration, receptions, breakfasts, lunches and dinners) and the program venue (presentations).
June 1st (Monday)
16:00-01:00
DRINKS ON THE ROOF
📍 Location – KPM Hotel & Residences Rooftop Bar & Penthouse Space
With almost 100 attendees already in Berlin on Monday afternoon, we suggest KPM’s Rooftop Bar and Penthouse Space as the meeting point to share a drink and catch up. There are no firm-specific parties around the conference as every team agreed to, instead, focus on getting together at one spot: KPM’s rooftop area. The area is good for 200 people, with a diverse wine list and a menu focused on sharable plates. If you’re in town on Monday, come say Hi to your fellow counsel.
