COME WITH US TO HIGH TATRAS

After 5 successful years of GLOBSEC Tatra Summit organized in Bratislava, GLOBSEC Tatra Summit 2017 transforms into a more exclusive, high-level meeting place with a maximum number of 150 distinguished participants. True to its name the Summit will, for the first time ever, take place in the High Tatras, with the venue sitting on the shore of the glacial mountain lake Štrbské Pleso, overlooking the majestic panorama of the High Tatras peaks.

ENJOY THE ATMOSPHERE

Cosy environment and more intimate atmosphere will create a platform for exclusive personal discussions, free and open debates, and informal meetings. Besides that, the beautiful surrounding of the conference location will enable a relaxed ambience and spending quality time enclosed by nature. Ending on Saturday, the event provides a perfect opportunity to prolong the stay and spend a long weekend in the splendid landscape of High Tatras.
