Beautiful city of Lisbon welcomed us with her arms open wide. Magnificent sights, rich history and culture, great ambient – all this you can find in the city of seven hills. Eaquals conference took place in Sana Hotel Lisboa where for 3 days LangLion representatives were meeting school owners, demonstrating our software and lecturing on customer relations techniques. LangLion was the sponsor of Lisboa 2016 Eaquals Confrence.
Day 1 (20.04.2016)
We (Michal Krochecki and Michal Bartosinski) came to Lisbon day earlier to prepare everything for the conference and get rested. We also used the opportunity to see the city. Take a look at the pictures and see for yourself how great Lisbon is.
Day 2 (21.04.2016)
Official start of the conference. Tons of handshakes, hundreds of business cards exchanged. We’ve seen familiar faces but also met new, interesting people, pioneers of language teaching. We visited several sessions about teaching techniques, examination and quality control. Get ready for some new articles, because we learned a lot from the sessions!
After the official part we were taken to Estufa Real Restaurant for a dinner. Located inside a beautiful garden with albino peacocks wandering, that place made a great impression. New people met, new friendships started, lots of laughs and good food.
Day 3 (22.04.2016)
LangLion team set up the exhibition in the main hall of the conference site and started to invite over the people and show the benefits of the Platform. We had a lot of interesting guests, exchanged a lot of experience and learned new things.
As Eaquals has its 25th aniversary this year, the evening after the sessions and exhibitions there was a very special event. We could watch the movie summing up all the conferences and accomplishments of Eaquals and its members. After the moving moments, we were offered a wonderful dinner. After the dinner there was a party time. LangLion and PASE as always moved to the dance floor.
Day 4 (22.04.2016)
Last day of the conference and a big day for Michal Bartosinski who was scheduled for a session about relations with customers. Michal gathered quite an audience and smoothly explained the common mistakes and advised school directors for the future. Big applause. Let us know if you’d like to see the presentation!
After the official summary of the conference, LangLion team together with other participants, members of Eaquals and aspiring members went for a dinner in a romantic district of Barrio Alto.
We will remember the trip to Lisbon for a long time and hope that other participants reading this article will leave us some comments and describe how they liked the conference. See you next year in Riga!
