Thomas Nimstad
CEO, Million Games
I thoroughly enjoyed the event, it was everything promised when the concept was discussed - a large group of high-quality people with the right attitude and a relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy both business and the social side of things. A fantastic way to meet new people and to build-on existing relationships. The low-key but highly-organised controlling of the event was perfectly-pitched, huge credit to Roz and the team. I didn't even have to give my name at the welcome dinner, my badge was just handed to me!"
Michael Charlton
Former Head of Asia, Entain
"The boutique size event all loved, we had time to get to actually know each other, the Pattaya resort was amazing! I think many deals were done, and many friendships built. I think these types of events are much more appreciated than the massive size ones where everything is "speed dating". Well done to you and Diana for pulling it off. Highly appreciated event, I'd say!
