In the event world, it’s simply part of life if things don’t work out as planned.
Networking typically happens at real, in-person events. But it’s also possible to do it online; it just works a little differently. There are various options available to organisers.

With its TrustedTargeting technology, Messe München offers its customers access to leading business-to-business decision-makers on the Internet.
