All participants of the KBS Symposium 2027 who have registered for the social dinner are warmly invited to join us for an evening of good food, lively conversations, and celebration in Berlin.
Venue: Alte Turnhalle Berlin

Located in the vibrant district of Friedrichshain, the Alte Turnhalle Berlin offers a unique setting that combines historic architecture with a contemporary atmosphere. Originally built as a school gymnasium in the 1950s, the venue has been transformed into a distinctive event space while retaining its original character. Its spacious hall, high ceilings, and elegant interior provide an inviting atmosphere for an evening of dining and socializing.
The social dinner will offer participants the opportunity to connect with colleagues from around the world, exchange ideas beyond the conference sessions, and enjoy an evening together in one of Berlin's distinctive event venues.
