Berlin congress. The overall quality of the event is
surprisingly high, especially regarding the congress
facilities with high-quality presentations. Despite
the fact that we are talking about a congress and not

the number of visitors at our exhibition stand and
really happy about the opportunity to have made so
many new contacts here.«
