[Assembly Events]

Greetings from Assembly!



Midsummer passed and Assembly Summer 2019 is drawing closer day by day.
Below you can find some information and news about the upcoming event and
demoscene activities.

TICKETS & COMPUTER PLACES

Remaining computer places were opened for sales last week. We made some
tuning and increased the number of places available for K22 places and
Standard+ categories. If you haven’t purchased a ticket for Assembly Summer
yet, you can get yours here
<https://www.lippu.fi/assembly-lippuja.html?affiliate=ADV&doc=artistPages/tickets&fun=artist&action=tickets&kuid=568541>
.

Assembly Summer has been sold out in the last two years. Be in time to grab
your tickets, otherwise you risk getting your tickets for your group.

This Summer will be the biggest Assembly event in history with over 4400
computer seats available. Join the fun and experience the record event in
2019!

Also check out the new family places: these are designed for those who want
to visit Assembly with their family and have a cozy atmosphere with
like-minded folks around during the party.


The family seats are wider premium seats but with standard 100 Mbit/s
network connectivity.

Our previously announced Overwatch professional tournament has
unfortunately been cancelled. The professional tournaments which will be
held at Assembly Summer 2019 are Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and –
fresh announced - Starcraft II!

P.S. Our last important news item is at the end of this email. Whee!

We have had numerous requests about Assembly Winter days during the past
years. The participants have expressed that the time is not optimal (high
school test weeks) and that the event is too short. This changes now:

Assembly Winter 2020 will move to week 8, dates being 20. - 23.2.2020 (Thu
- Sun).

That is - four days of Assembly Winter with more suitable date!

We look forward to launching the ticket sales later in the fall, we will
keep you up to date about the winter event content and specifics.
