During the two-day event, there were a number of lectures and discussions, from notable figures in the watch world, such as Jeff Kingston (WatchTime), Joe Thompson (Editor-in-Chief of WatchTime) and Anish Bhatt (Founder of WatchAnish). There were also cocktails and whisky tastings, which added to the positive atmosphere of the show.
