Now that 2016 is water under the bridge, the time to set in motion one of our most important New Year’s resolutions has come: for this year, we’ve committed ourselves to make better choices. While it might appear as a simple, unambitious resolution, it’s not: above everything else, the act of making good choices requires solid options to choose from in the first place – and in turn, solid options demand precise planning.
Over the past couple of years, we had the chance to work with a number of interesting clients from both the tech and telecom sectors. These are dynamic, international companies that not only value performance and dedication, but also the ability to plan for the long-haul. Companies living perpetually with a foot in the present and the other in the future, expecting full understanding of the current situation and awareness for what’s coming next.
Under the light of our New Year’s resolution – and because we enjoy working with this kind of companies, we’ve put together a selection of this year’s best networking events for the telecom and tech sectors. Our hope for better choices extends to every person we know, company we work with and, in this case, readers as well. And by bringing together the great options, we’re taking the first step. Let’s take a look:
