way it is organized in terms of the field of participants, size and quality.«

»This has been our first time as exhibitors at the
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
a trade fair here, we are pleasantly surprised about
the number of visitors at our exhibition stand and
really happy about the opportunity to have made so
many new contacts here.«
