"This year was again a wonderful event. I have connected with new companies and re-connected with old friends. The evenings were also great. The start of Thursday evening with live music , dance and shots was already fantastic. But the best evening was the Karaoke, although I heard there was also bowling? For me personally it was one of the highlights of the year 2025 , not just for the conference. And winning the award for best singer was a pleasant surprise. But singing with and listening to other wonderful singers like Ernst , Anthony , Robert and Albert was a pleasure. So a lot of new and marvellous memories were created. Hence again a big thank you to Ernst and his entire team for making this event another big success."

"While our company has been part of GLN for many years, this was my first time attending GLN in person. I was genuinely impressed by how professional yet friendly everyone was, and by the strong sense of trust within the network. What I really appreciate about GLN is that it’s not just about doing business, it’s about building real relationships based on trust and mutual respect. When those connections are genuine, business naturally follows."
