Janáček Theater We’ve all seen so much in this place already that changing the venue for MF2015 would be a travesty!
WE will prepare the stage – customized to the needs of the speakers – and YOU get to nestle into the comfortable chairs. And during the break we’ll all meet in the foyer... where we’ll just go ahead and drop the Mr. and Mrs. nonsense and get to talking like good friends. Sound good? We thought so.
