THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHING GOING ON…
Sarawak Network Event – An Inspiring Evening of Connections and Innovation!
On Thursday, October 17th, we opened the doors to our office in Groot-Bijgaarden for our second networking event, welcoming 150 clients from various sectors such as Cosmetics, Consumer Electronics, and FMCG. It was an inspiring evening that highlighted the power of networking and innovation, with an international twist.
“Boarding passes, please!”
Upon arrival at the check-in desk, guests received their personal boarding pass and were immediately immersed in a dynamic “airport” experience that guided them through the evening. The Travel Retail shop provided a unique opportunity to explore a range of products—from chocolates and sweets to new perfumes and cosmetics. This wasn’t just a chance to taste, but also an opportunity to learn about the latest trends and developments in the industry.
The atmosphere was further enhanced in the departure lounge, where guests could mingle, share experiences, and gain new insights during a networking reception.
