Istanbul, lying at the cross-roads of major trade routes and full of history and tradition, is an amazing city which appears to never sleep and many of our delegates appeared to hardly sleep either. It is a testimony to our professionalism and team spirit though, that no one was late the next morning and, looking down from the stage, everyone appeared to be fully alert….
The vistas from the hotel towards the Bos porus and the many mosques, churches and palaces were simply amazing and I am convinced quite a number of our delegates will come back for a private trip to Istanbul and it sure is worth it. No one has the time during the meeting of course, and the days are very long and take full concentration. In his opening speech, Jost Hellmann set the table
for our talks, indicating that no one can be happy or satisfied with last year’s results and that the first two months of 2013 were no walk in the park either. Like yours truly, he also stressed the importance of ‘relationships’ as one of the most important factors in our business. Without relationships, on many levels, we will not succeed.
