“For us it was an attempt to find a different format in Corona times to get in touch with (new) customers. A bit skeptical at the beginning, but now totally enthusiastic! The event was scheduled for two hours from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, the last ones signed off at 1 am. A great format for customer events!”
