Biopsi's 25th anniversary
You are warmly invited to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our student association at Hotel Ilves on Saturday, 14 November 2026. Please note that this invitation applies to Biopsi students from the 2nd year onwards. First-year bachelor students will help organize the anniversary celebration. Registration for the anniversary celebration will open on Tuesday, 6 October at 12:00 p.m., and close at midnight on Tuesday, 13 October. You will find the registration forms at the end of this message. When registering, you will be able to choose between two different ticket categories: 1) dinner invitation or 2) dinner invitation and post-party brunch (sillis). The dinner invitation costs 90 euros for Biopsi members (100 euros for others), and the sillis ticket costs 5 euros. The after-party ticket must be redeemed through a separate registration form due to the venue's capacity limitations. The after-party registration forms will be sent to the email on Tuesday, 6 October at 12:00 p.m. The after-party ticket costs 5 euros. The dinner invitation grants you access to the main celebration at Hotel Ilves. At Hotel Ilves, you will be served a three-course dinner accompanied by wines, coffee, and an after-dinner drink. You will find the menu attached to the invitation. After the main event, we will travel together by bus to the after-party, where the lively party band Krebatorio will entertain our guests. Drinks will be available at the after-party, and drink tickets can be used to purchase beverages. Late-night snacks will also be served. On Sunday, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the company of Biopsi members once more at the sillis. The dress code for the anniversary celebration is formal attire or a dark suit (tailcoat/suit), accompanied by academic decorations and insignia. You may also register a plus-one. Please remember to fill out a dinner invitation for your plus-one by completing the second section of the registration form. When processing registrations, we will prioritize plus-ones of the anniversary committee and board members before those of our general membership. For more information, please see the Rules and Practices section. Local businesses in Tampere are also assisting with the anniversary preparations! On the day of the main celebration, Glohair's Tammela location offers a 15% discount on formal hairstyles. In addition, the formalwear rental shop Kavaljeeri offers a 10% discount on rental suits and a 30% discount on suits available for purchase. Payment instructions and further details will be sent no later than the week of the anniversary celebration. We sincerely hope to see you celebrating Biopsi's 25th anniversary with us! Registration link to the anniversary celebration: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/HENsy7RM2G Rules and Practices Plus-ones: Unfortunatly, due to capacity limitations, we cannot guarantee that all plus-ones will be able to attend the celebration. Our priority is to ensure that our members, as well as the Biopsi board, committees, and alumni, are able to attend. Due to their responsibilities within the board and committees, these individuals are prioritized in the registration process before the general membership, and this also applies to the plus-ones they invite. Registration: Registration for the anniversary celebration is binding, and the payment is non-refundable if you are unable to attend. Resale: The resale of dinner invitations, after-party tickets, and sillis tickets is prohibited. All cancellations must be reported to the organizers. With warm regards, The Biopsi Anniversary Celebration Committee

Biopsi's 25th anniversary - After party
The anniversary celebration doesn’t end with the main event – the celebration continues at the after-party! The official after-party of the anniversary celebration will be held in Lamminpää, with shared transportation departing from in front of Hotel Ilves. Keeping the vibes high, the amazing party band Krebatorio will be playing two sets throughout the night, and the dance floor will be open all evening. There’ll also be some late-night snacks for the hungry ones and a drink bar serving until the early hours. Drink tickets will be handed out during the main event. Upstairs, we’ve set up a karaoke room – so all you future superstars, this is your chance to shine. After-party tickets must be redeemed through a separate registration form that will be sent to your email on Monday. The official after-party has a more limited capacity than the main event, so make sure to secure your spot as soon as registration opens on Tuesday, 6 October, at 12:00. The after-party ticket costs 5 euros and must be redeemed in advance. You’re also welcome to bring your own beverages to the after-party. The theme of the after-party is “Blehat” (sunglasses). So, bring your most fabulous shades, because the night is going to sparkle! Remember to register your plus-one separately. We prioritize members and alumni over their plus-ones. The registration form will continue to accept responses even after capacity has been reached, so we can organize registrations according to our prioritization policy. We will notify those on the waiting list as soon as possible.

6-linja
Ready to ride?! Biopsi's own traditional pub-crawl, the line 6, will be held on Thursday 19.11. this year! 🚌The name of the event comes from the year 2011, when the pub-crawl followed the line of bus number 6. Because of route changes we will be using buses and trams, but according to tradition we will start on the #6 bus.😊 The crawl starts from Arvo. You can choose from three different start times, which are: 16.15, 16.35 ja 16.45. From the last bar you can buy the event patch for yourself for the price of 3€. Welcome aboard!
