There is no Substitute for face-to-face Networking
We live in challenging economic times! The forward-thinking businesses that will grow and prosper in this climate are those that increase face-to-face marketing time with current and potential customers and partners.
However, this same poor economic climate has reduced the travel budgets of airline/travel industry executives, making every networking opportunity more valuable to them. In this context, Airline Information and SeaMountain have agreed with Adyen to co-organise a complimentary cocktail reception and discussion forum for airline & travel industry professionals in Amsterdam on the 11th of February 2010.
The evening event will serve to bring together airline and travel industry professionals for high-level networking, as well as to discuss the critical bottom-line profit issues for a rapidly changing travel industry. This event is part of an ongoing series of “Ai/SeaMountain Networking Cocktails” that are tailored for airline industry executives in major hub cities worldwide.
Registration is completely free of charge but we recommend that you act quickly as our venue is limited in capacity to 50 people. Please limit two attendees per company.
Where: Stationsplein 57 - 11th floor
1012 AB Amsterdam The Netherlands
(2-minute walk from the Central Station.)
