The convention comprised of meetings in the morning, experiencing the Taipei MRT system in the afternoon, and wrapping up with a banquet in the evening. To let participants experience a day of life in Taipei and a taste of Taiwanese cuisine, an innovative activity involved using Taipei Pass cards to travel individually from the Taipei World Trade Center Nangang Exhibition Hall to 38 of Taipeis MRT stations, and the most interesting thing was that they were tasked to exchange two oranges which they were given with citizens they met for a souvenir. On the way, each was given NT$100 to spend at any eateries.
