Conference Dinner

The Old tram Depot is the selected venue for this year conference dinner. The depot was established in 1913 with the launch of a wide-gauge tram line in Krakow. In the early 1960s, when trams disappeared from the depot and the track was removed, bus workshops and warehouses were set up in its buildings. On 2012 the facility was renovated and now it operates as a gastronomic complex.
