What did the attendees say
Several quotes to express the experiences about the new way to connect:

• Maren Schoormans (Viscon Group): “At first Glance I feel sad about the empty halls here we would normally have GreenTech. But thanks to GT Live & Online this new movement grows exponential. This is an excellent start of a new era!”
• "The various webinars had good technical content and the audio/visual quality was also better than average. Very good overall organization. The website was easy to use as well"
• "Good presentation from speakers and the live talk discussion is very interesting"
• "Easily switch to different exhibitors, chat and follow during the day different live sessions (also on background during work)"
• Rob Schoones (Priva): “My compliments to the organization. I propose that next time you also just participate in the innovation award election. Nice to see how your life inspiring speakers from different countries tell their story”
• Pieter Vellekoop: “Ironically, during a ‘normal’ GreenTech I never managed to contact with so many nationalities within only 15 minutes. Thank you for this opportunity”.
