Networking:

As networking is one of the main reasons for attending an EVCA Investors’ Forum, we endeavoured to make this as simple as possible and provide every opportunity for you to network easily.

As an Investors’ Forum participant, you benefit from:

• A bistro-style networking lounge which will be at your disposal throughout the Investors’ Forum where you can meet up with your contacts. Coffee and soft drinks will be permanently available free of charge.
• A rotating networking dinner where a rotating seating plan will allow dinner guests to mingle throughout the evening, leaving ample time to network. 
• An open bar, before the rotating Networking Dinner. 
• Welcome coffees and coffee breaks in between sessions throughout the event. 
• Breakfast and lunches during the event. 
• Internet access in the networking lounge and via the hotel’s WiFi system.
