«There is an example of WOW conference. I liked the reports of Iota , UBER, Max Nikitinsky and Victor Pasternak about intellectual property. Organizers made a good wow effect. There was Star Wars thematic and its characters were met everywhere, such as Sith, Jedi, Master Yoda and Imperial stormtroopers. It is better to take this way of organization to one’s mind.»
