To this end, a Telegram bot was operational throughout the festival, allowing participants to connect with others with similar interests. There were several team activities, and large parties were held. We saw how interesting and diverse the festival's participants were when we listened to their presentations at pajama talks, bar talks, an anti-science conference, and several other more intimate events. It was truly gratifying and inspiring."
