We were privileged to have Christian Busch as a keynote speaker at the Amadeus Online Connect 2016 in Berlin couple of days ago. We worked closely before the event and the preparation work went extremely smoothly. All milestones were met in advance. His presentation was highly appreciated, due to the quality of content and his energy on stage. Christian really captured the attention of our 350 invitees! Many of them came to talk to him afterwards to continue the conversation and Christian was quoted on Twitter and LinkedIn. WEMEA Marketing Manager, Amadeus
