Was unsere Kunden sagen.
Der Konzeptionsworkshop war für uns eine Art „kreative Initialzündung" und damit wesentliche Inspiration für die erfolgreiche Ausgestaltung des Settings und Programms unseres „EWR-Zukunftsforum'24". Vielen Dank für die unkomplizierte und freundschaftliche Zusammenarbeit – wir freuen uns schon auf das nächste Projekt mit Euch!
"Ich arbeite seit Mitte 2020 mit PIRATEx zusammen, mittlerweile sind sie mein Premiumpartner für die komplette audio-visuelle Umsetzung von virtuellen Events. Wir haben gemeinsam große digitale Messen, Kongresse und verschiedene Informations-Veranstaltungen für meine Agenturkunden realisiert. PIRATEx hat mich bei allen Projekten konzeptionell, technisch und organisatorisch hervorragend unterstützt und ist dabei für jede Idee und Anregung offen gewesen – ein sehr agiles und flexibles Team, mit dem es auch menschlich bestens passt!"
