It’s Expo-Time:Welcome to the coffee break at the Expo
Experience the Expo area. The Expo is a festival. It is a place of content, networking, exhibition, fun, coffee and snacks. In a special way, the Expo is a "place of operatives". The seven main CX themes have been designed for the Expo stages from an operational perspective. The Expo content partners also have a strong operational focus. At the same time, the content on the four stages is linked to the offerings, solutions and innovations of our exhibitors and brands, who will be given plenty of space in the Expo, both literally and figuratively, to contribute their content.
The Expo is also a place to network, to have fun, to celebrate at the CX Party, to chat over a snack or a drink.
