Mit Flour Power die Zukunft meistern │ Symposium The first evening was crowned by a maritime get-together on the Louisiana Star. Before the order to "cast off", most of the speakers gathered in front of the impressive paddle steamer for a photo shooting. First-rate supporting programme Certainly all the guests were happy where the supporting programme was concerned. On the first evening the motto was “Welcome aboard the Louisiana Star”, a luxurious paddle steamer in historic Mississippi style, which set off on an impressive trip along the Elbe river and offered fascinating views of night-time Hamburg and its harbour. Between a champagne reception, the buffet meal and acrobatic show numbers the guests found plenty of time to talk together informally and meet new members of the Milling Family from every corner of the earth. The grand finale of the event was a gala evening in the party hall of the Hamburg hotel Grand Elysee. After a stylish candlelight dinner the live band “Steam” and a performance by the American singer Sydney Youngblood created a lively party atmosphere. The Milling Family cheerfully joined in the mood of the rousing show and used the final evening to celebrate and dance into the night.
