The SIPUGday 2017 at the Marriott Zürich Hotel was a success down the line. On Monday evening (Oct. 30th), around 125 participants enjoyed the informal atmosphere of the Dinner4friends for the 25th anniversary of SIPUG. The Marriott team served excellent delicacies at market stalls and the SIPUG guests were able to exchange and talk in the best possible way. The excellent atmosphere was also due to the performances of the blues band „Diggin ‚The Blues“ with a musical journey from New Orleans via Memphis to Chicago. The evening, planned as a networking enabler, ended with the signature drinks Cboe Twist and SIPUGspecial25 at the bar.
We would like to express our special thanks to our sponsors and partners who generously supported the two-day event: in particular the PLATINpartner Thomson Reuters, the GOLDpartner SIX Financial Information, the DINNERpartners Neoxam, Cboe and Symphony, the BANDpartner vwdgroup as well as the LUNCHpartner AWP and the COFFEEBREAKpartner Bureau Van Dijk.
