    During the event, a lot of people worked in our studio - the team that was responsible for interacting with the social part of the event (Twitter, Facebook, Vkontakte, Skype and SMM also knows what), the team in the director's office, which was responsible for checking the interviewees, timing exposure, sound, etc. (in the most tense moments, the director’s room withstood the pressure of 11 people) and, in fact, the speaker team was the presenters who, for 6 hours, adapted to what was happening in the interactive part and comments In order to do this, technical speakers who were to tell the main idea of ​​the topic in 15-20 minutes and our guests, who were 12 people! 12 people - from Moscow, from St. Petersburg, from Minsk and other cities that needed to be connected, checked the connection, switched to the main line and not be lost in the process.

    We did it!
