The event started at 10 o'clock with a welcome to the guests, who gradually gathered and enjoyed morning coffee and refreshments. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, which was ideal for deepening mutual relations. At 11 am, the first part of the programme started with presentations. Representatives of the organizing companies showed innovations in the field of gas storage. First of all, the main changes in the upcoming storage regulations as well as the auction system with new auction types were presented. The presentations were not only information-rich but also entertaining, which was appreciated by all present.

The block of presentations was followed by lunch. Everyone enjoyed traditional Czech specialties, which were certainly prepared by expert hands. During lunch, lively discussions were held on the presented topics and participants exchanged their opinions and experiences. After lunch, we focused on practical aspects and concrete examples from practice related to the presented topics and developments in the gas market. Visitors had the opportunity to ask questions and discuss various topics, which led to many interesting and inspiring debates.

Afternoon and evening programme

The afternoon was dedicated to either a visit to the underground gas storage facility in Dambořice or a tour of the wine cellar with traditional wine production in Rakvice. Both options were very attractive and the participants could choose the activity according to their preferences. Those who participated in our event for the first time usually opted for a visit to the Dambořice gas storage facility, which gave them a deeper insight into the technological processes at the gas storage facility. Guests who had already participated in previous years tended to prefer a tour of the wine cellar with traditional wine production.

The aim of the meeting was above all to deepen relationships with our business partners that cannot be established "online". Once again, the face-to-face meeting proved to be irreplaceable in this respect. Furthermore, we listened to the ideas and opinions of our customers, which are essential feedback and a source of inspiration for our future work. The proof that the event was a success, in our opinion, is the declaration of the participants before they left that they are already looking forward to another similar event and that they hope we will maintain the excellent level of this event and hopefully improve it in the future.
