The last day features presentations from invited speakers on recent developments in Angus breeding, followed by the World Angus Secretariat meeting.

Those of you who decide to join the Standard and Standard + After tours programs can look forward to trips around Bohemia, in the west, Czech Highlands, in the centre, and Moravia, in the east of the country. Alongside farm visits, you will have a chance to experience Prague from a historic tram and a river cruise, or the spa and hospitality of the Grandhotel Pupp in Karlovy Vary. Beer lovers can enjoy the most popular beer at the Pilsner Brewery, wine lovers will appreciate a tasting in wine cellars at a monastery. There will be plenty of delicious food and other traditional beverages on the way. The closing dinner cannot take place anywhere else but the National Museum of Agriculture in Prague.

Along the way, you will be treated to local feasts, striking scenery and a warm welcome by Czech breeders who will take you on tours of their farms.
