Let’sConnect 2022 will become a online event instead of a face to face one. Join us for a 1 day virtual event on October 26. More details on how to register for this event will follow later this week.

Due to the aftermath of the pandemic and the restrictions companies are putting on travel as a result of the economical crisis, we are forced to change this event to an online one.

We will deliver the same quality content with the same quality speakers and now have the opportunity to have the keynote be presented by Richard Jefts ( General Manager HCL Digital Solutions).
