Europe, but we can enhance the conference with a global perspective,

the developed world, and CONNECTIONS™ provides a venue for the movers and
shakers to learn, meet, and establish the relationships that spur a
rapidly growing marketplace.”

European consumers as our market focus and a format that reflects European
information and networking desires,” said
