The Eventex Mash Sessions, masterfully moderated by Hans Etman of Masters in Moderation, offered a unique new way to get even more value from the event \u2013 at the end of each day, participants gathered and shared what they had learned from the masterclasses.
\u201cThe team behind Eventex dares to make choices. Eventex 2017 was all about learning from a choice selection of Event Experts. A wonderful opportunity, sometimes disruptive, always with lots of positive energy. Well done!\u201d \u2013 Hans Etman
\nThe event also featured an expo and an off-site event showcasing partner companies\u2019 products and services, including Meet in Ireland, Croke Park, Croke Park Hotel, Attendify, Boomset, Rhizome Live, UK Charge, Masters in Moderation, UK Drawing Booth, MABEA, 360 Entertainment.
