2017 Polish Congress Ambassadors Gala
Meeting of the Ambassadors with the Chapter, program organizers and representatives of the meetings industry referred to the cultural project "Krakow - the city of Stanisław Wyspiański", conducted in connection with the 110th anniversary of the artist's death. The motives characteristic of his work were visible during the whole ceremony. A symbolic reference to Wyspiański's idea was also a laser connection between ICE Kraków and Wawel, where Wyspiański wanted to set Akropolis.
