This year there will be one talk in Armenian, however there will be no translation available. The rest of the talks will be in English, since the purpose of this event is to produce talks that can easily be disseminated globally. The lunch will be provided by TUMO Center for Creative Technologies and will include vegetarian option.

We look forward to spending a beautiful day together!
