Follow-up calls are still incoming and our managers are scheduled for the following next weeks, so if you are planning to contact us - NOW is the high time!

Coming back to normal working pace (categorizing business cards, responding to all invitations, adding new friends on Facebook…) we are ready to offer you a little review on Convergence 2015 in figures.
