"I thought the event was very good. For someone like me, who is head of global compensation and benefits outside – in the US – it is important to attend these events in the region. Coming to EMEA, meeting my colleagues who work for European multinationals and local subsidiaries here in EMEA allows me to understand the market better and make better compensation and benefits decisions for my group here, in Europe. Yes, the event definitely met my expectations."

Peter Beck from Ashland, United States of America
