Conference teaser
Nights is one (if not the one) of my favourite conferences. It is much more than a scientific event. It promotes a rich and holistic programme integrating innovative urban, cultural and intervention models to increase safety, denormalize toxic social norms, value clubbing cultures and promote responsive nightlife environments. This is also a privileged opportunity to network with experts working around the topic of nightlife. For those of us who love the energy of a nice dancefloor, this is also a privileged opportunity to connect with the nightlife scenes of the cities where Nights is held – this time let´s see what Zurich has to offer to us!
