A comprehensive and well-organized city tour was arranged by Roundtable 3 Plovdiv, offering participants an in-depth opportunity to explore and connect with the rich Roman heritage of Plovdiv. Guided by local experts, the tour highlighted the historical and cultural landmarks that reflect not only the city’s ancient past but also the broader historical legacy of Bulgaria as a whole. THe Tour finished with a easy Lunch at Samborna 23 Restaurant, also in the center of the city.

Friday Evening

As the sun set, all attendees gathered at Q Bar, located along the city’s popular food and nightlife district. In a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere, the Round Table spirit was celebrated late into the night with delicious finger food, cold beers, engaging conversations, and an energetic mix of house music.

A wide range of discussions took place, focusing on various ideas and projects aimed at mutual support and strengthening collaboration within the SEM community.

Gala

The gala evening took place at the beautifully appointed Etra Hall, located just outside the city center. Following a delightful gala dinner, guests enjoyed a cultural performance featuring a local and cultural dance group.
