ABOUT THE EVENT
The 1RS Unconvention took place at September 20-23 not far from Saint Petersburg. This format does not imply any competition, the program is built around the needs and interests of its participants. Being at the comfortable resort for four days allowed participants to switch off from their daily routine and focus on communicating with like-minded people around and learn from each other.
It's not about the earnings and prizes, it's strictly about communication and education. The absence of competition excludes winners and losers. It also excludes all current and future holywars and simmering of known substances, any negativity factor disappears automatically. It's nice that Russia finally has formats that we don't have to feel ashamed of. A long-standing demand finally has a worthy answer.

KARAMBA WORKSHOP
I think that such events are necessary for the tattoo community. No boxes or nominations, no loud music or chaos, everything is clear and right to the point. Everyone who attended the event was left with only positive emotions and a big set of knowledge and impressions.
Daria Melentyeva
1RS became a call for action for me, maybe even a kick in the right direction. With each new lecture and conversation, I felt stronger and more confident. New knowledge opens many outstanding opportunities, you just need to implement your new experience right.

KRMB
We all needed to come together in one room full of specialists instead of sitting on the stairs with bottles of beer. Having discussion panels, round tables, and a common spirit as opposed to cubicles with taped flash tats on them is a big plus as well as living in nice big houses near the gulf. I haven't seen an organization as such since big IT conferences.
Evgen Serdyuk
Four amazing days with the best members of the tattoo industry on the coast of the Gulf of Finland, all in an informal setting. I received a lot of helpful information and got acquainted with really cool people. I got my dopamine dosage for a year ahead.
Konstantin Tail
On the Unconvention the sheer lack of a necessity to touch on other peoples' work really helped to communicate and exchange knowledge.
Karina Kuba
The format is nice. Those who are tired of the usual "come, work, leave" form of many conventions would really appreciate it.
