This year we opted for not exhibiting at tekom Fair, but we certainly could not miss this great event, so I attended the exhibition first of all to meet new and old friends and colleagues from our industry, to learn new trends, to compare the event to the last year’s one and just to do all things people do at conferences and exhibitions. My secondary goal was to meet new agencies for possible collaboration as we expect volume increase and have to gear up for that.
