TDCS Marketing Events

LuxConnect Dinner and presentations to 60 guests from across the data centre sector by Luxembourg for Finance at historic Trinity House in London March 2018

“The presentations were informative, and I was interested to note that LuxConnect is now positioned as a wholesaler and that you in your role of Director Global Alliances have identified and engaged with 4 very good companies to handle the retail operations.

All-in-all it was an ideal location and your organisational skills created an excellent event, that was just reward for your efforts.”
