EMEA UPDATE


BUILDING THE TAPA BRAND WITH EMEA REGION STAKEHOLDERS


Thorsten Neumann, President & CEO of TAPA for the Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) region, shares the latest update on some of his and the Association’s latest activities aimed at accelerating TAPA EMEA’s growth, development and influence, and delivering more benefits to our growing membership…


STAY SAFE


I want to begin by echoing the thoughts of our three TAPA regional Chairs and send the entire TAPA Family my best wishes at this very difficult time. The coronavirus is one of the biggest challenges most of us can ever recall and it puts into perspective many of the smaller, trivial things we often worry about in our daily lives.


I am locked down with my family in Germany and I know most of you are in a similar state of isolation, wherever you may be in the world. I wish you all good health and hope we get through this time as quickly and safely as possible. I am looking forward to seeing all my TAPA friends again soon once it is safe to do so.


In the meantime, stay safe and well.


THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT


Like so many other events across the globe, our TAPA EMEA conference in Amsterdam, which should have taken place earlier this month, had to be postponed at short notice as the spread of coronavirus forced organisations and governments to ban large group gatherings.


It was the right decision, of course. At every TAPA event, the safety and wellbeing of every participant is our foremost priority.


We understand that many of you had already made travel plans to join us in Amsterdam and we, once again, were looking forward to an outstanding conference involving first class speakers and panellists, and with the support of our sponsors and exhibitors. Sadly, it was not to be, but we very much appreciated the support and understanding of everyone.


Our planning and momentum will not be wasted. We are already working on our next conference which will hopefully take place on 30 September-1 October. We will keep you fully up-to-date with our plans as everything becomes clearer in the coming weeks and months.
