Our main learnings so far … An unforgettable experience for everyone who was there An event with a major impact on visitors was a great choice Not all stopovers were entirely suitable (Sanya, Brazil, timing Abu Dhabi) Putting sales office in the lead for the stop overs was a success Volume of PR & Social media coverage for Robeco beyond expectations Media coverage from the VOR mainly online, less above-the- line This project has promoted strongly the internationalization of Robeco and increased pride in Robeco 14 Robeco
