A story of teamwork or Visiting the Temple of Science
The whole story started when Katya P. got an invitation to a conference about legal issues while hiring foreigners.
For sure it was a must for us to attend this conference…. If only not the fee for this conference, which was quite high. So Katya P. started negations about getting in there for free and in the end the agreement was ½ of the fee + help during registration. ½ of the fee was also quite high and since we do not have cash (coz LCs do not pay their LC fees on time and partners do not transmit the money against the contract), Zhenya raised the money from one of our BoA members, and then it was my and Nastya Gu’s turn to contribute!
- Hello, could you introduce yourself please?
- Here is your delegate pack
- Please go straight and them to the right
Roma said we looked really good as receptionists :) As for Roma, he managed to talk with the most important speaker at this conference, get some contacts and hopefully some useful knowledge :)
The conference took place in the Temple of Russian Science – in the Academy of Science! It’s a token! Before SumMeet we planned to visit a theater, coz the theme of the conference was theatre, and now the theme of NatCo is science and we are in the Academy of Science!!! We saw real academicians – a bit crazy and sooo funny :)
The organization of the conference was quite strange – I would say there were very many things that were not though out thoroughly. Sometimes Nastya and me looked at each other, thinking ‘Looks like they need feedback to improve things…’ That was so strange to see that in some aspect this company that specializes in MICE (meetings – incentive – conferences - events) segment is less professional than we are when we organize conferences and events.
So, definitely that was not the best day in terms of applying our talents, but we’ve learnt how things are done in non-AIESEC way, read some newspapers, walked around the ‘temple’, which is as fundamental as our science is (you can see it below), and enjoyed the amazing view of Moscow form the 22d floor.
