The great banquet at EXPO Krakow
The starters for almost 1500 guests were served in only 9 minutes! It took almost 500 kilograms of duck to prepare the main dish. To handle the event 150 people were hired. There were professional cooks, waiters, bartenders, security guards and hostesses. 3 huge trucks transported tableware, porcelain and glassware.

The nature was the motto of the Congress (Sharing Passion for Nature) and gala dinner theme at EXPO were four elements: Earth, Water, Fire and Air. It is up to these elements the screenplay of the event was adapted: an artistic program (full of passion and colors Art Color Ballet performance), lighting and multimedia (prepared and implemented by Concept Music Art). The menu, the colors and flavors of dishes prepared by the SCC - Service Congress Center, also referred to the elements.
