For the Teradata EMEA conference in Nice, we organised a networking night for some 750 international guests. In the warm atmosphere of ‘La Douce France’, they were able to challenge each other on the petanque court or feast on the typical French cuisine to be found at a food market. A local dance troupe provided the musical atmosphere and the guests took home a few typical French specialties as a souvenir. Mmm, the smell of lavender … heavenly!
