The meeting further proceeded in informal format. The guests were communicating with each other to the accompaniment of music of the domestic performer, who gave the room good mood and energy.
Prize drawing of Digma tablets happened as the curtain fell. Two participants of the meeting became the happy owners of the tablets.
As a result, both the guests and the organizers were satisfied with the result. They managed to “kill two birds at a time”: combine business with pleasure.
