CSers around the world: UNITE!!! Get ready for a brand new "explosive" international CS event in the gorgeous city of Torino!

TICKETS here: https://goo.gl/forms/eWJxRmqPMPPDwx2A2 Undeservedly Torino is often overlooked by tourists who tend to go to the more famous Italian cities like Milano, Venezia, Firenze, and Roma, which makes Torino remain, in a certain way, a “hidden gem”. The fourth biggest city of Italy AND the country’s very first Capital, Torino is full of history, culture, nature, beautiful architecture and elegant squares, and of course delicious food! Our goal is to introduce you to this wondrous place, with a vast array of activities during the day, and unmissable parties during the night!
