Lakeside, Zürich, Switzerland

The event will take place at the elegant Lakeside Zürich restaurant, offering breathtaking views of Lake Zürich, a perfect setting for meaningful business conversations.

This event offers two dynamic meeting formats to ensure high engagement and business value:

Open networking: meet everyone in a relaxed, free-flowing setting;
Pre-scheduled meetings: one-on-one appointments based on mutual interest and preferences.

This combination has been highly praised by both buyers and suppliers.
