The party celebrated not only the 5th anniversary of Expats.cz, but also the official launch of the new annual print publication, the Expats.cz Survival Guide and Business Directory, a free guidebook that offers completely objective advice for those living in or relocating to Prague and the Czech Republic. Also being celebrated was the pre-launch of the new business & entrepreneurial network IBN (International Business Network of the Czech Republic), which promises to strengthen bonds between the international and local business communities through seminars, social networking, and more.
