In the field of event support, there is an increase towards hybrid and online events. The market is asking for more intensive service, advice and often long-term partnerships.

Thierry brings the right experience to guide our successful team in Belgium to the next step in professionalism in our organization. Our clients are increasingly looking for a partner they can turn to for both smaller projects and more complex AV/ICT projects and events. We are there for our customers with a scalable team of specialists.”
