🌤️ Sunlight glinted off Lake Galvė between gusts of wind and bursts of rain — but nothing could dampen the spirit of the beloved ICAME boat trip to Trakai, a tradition that’s as iconic as the conference itself.

With the 14th-century Trakai Island Castle rising majestically in the distance, framed by lush greenery and reflected in the wind-ruffled waters, participants snapped 📸 photos, shared stories, and simply soaked in the moment. The scenery was stunning, yes — but the real highlight? The people. 🤝

ICAMErs are more than colleagues — they’re a community.
For many, this isn’t just another conference — it’s a reunion. 💬 Familiar faces, friendships built over decades, and joyful first-timers all coming together like family, once again. ❤️

Add in the taste of warm, traditional kibinai 🥟, a cool breeze off the lake 🌬️, and conversations flowing as freely as the drinks on deck 🍷 — and you have a perfect snapshot of what makes ICAME so special.

This boat trip isn’t just a scenic outing. It’s a moment of shared joy, reflection, and deep connection — the kind that defines the very heart of the conference. 💫
