I have found the event superb, both in terms of the service and the organisation provided. I personally find that costs and efforts related to the event have been fully compensated by the high quality of the meetings and the extremely well-optimised schedule. As a first time participant to such an event, TO THE TABLE revealed itself to be much more effective than one of those big fairs where time and expenses are diluted over too large a number of meetings and distractions overall. Also, I have got the perception that the beautiful location where the event took place somehow contributed to a pleasant and laid-back atmosphere, having all the attendees inspired with commonly shared positive vibes.

Once again, I truly enjoyed this edition of TO THE TABLE MEA.

This is exactly why we will certainly participate again next year. Beyond the professional quality of the participants, I would also highlight the human quality. It genuinely makes a difference — it facilitates business discussions and creates an overall atmosphere that is positive, constructive and enjoyable.

After a short break where we did not take part in TO THE TABLE MEA, we decided to join again and see what we can expect. Our expectations were exceeded. Our target customer selection was more than fulfilled, the meetings where professional and friendly and we met a lot of relevant decision making people for our business. Speed dating at its best. Not to mention the fantastic location. The get-together events in the evenings were another great chance to deepen talks and to get to know more contacts in a relaxed atmosphere. We are very happy that we were part of it.
