This year we were happy to show all participants the traditional Scotland. On the first evening we had a nice tour through the old town of Edinburgh. After the second conference day we went to the Ghillie-Dhu \u2013 a Scottish bar and restaurant where we ended up dancing a traditional Scottish Ceilidh. It was a pleasure seeing our guest enjoying this special evening \u2013 some of them even in kilts.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4261 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/lorit-consultancy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/40-IMG_6833-scaled.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/lorit-consultancy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/40-IMG_6833-640x640.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/lorit-consultancy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/40-IMG_6836-1-scaled.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/lorit-consultancy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/40-IMG_6836-1-640x640.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Thanks to EuroSPI &amp; Richard Messnarz and his team to bring this year\u00b4s conference to Edinburgh.
