ZXNet echo conference «real.speccy»
After a long break, we are throwing away the steering wheels! despite the fact that we had
some problems, the party will take place on time!!! all problems have been resolved
and we are ready to receive guests ;)
the rules still do not indicate the location of the event. this has nothing to do with our lack of it. We're just looking for the best! There is already a Mayakovsky Palace of Culture (last year's location), but after joining the party
Committee for Children and Youth Affairs of the Republic of Tatarstan, we are looking for a more worthy place!
Finally, we have settled all the issues with the prize fund, for which special thanks
to the same Committee. Prize money will be given in cash in envelopes ;)
and finally, non-resident participants will be offered accommodation in the student campus (dormitory) of one of the universities in Kazan. it will cost
~30-50 rubles per night. there are also hotels there for a night that is slightly higher - from 100
rubles per night.
