You've did everything to create a great evening. The process behind the awardshow and TIMMIES was very professional, the diner was fantastic and the entertainment as usual. Super! Thanks.

Michiel Haarman, Director IT & CSR, Vohama B.V.

Rob,
It was arranged more than fine with a very good atmosphere. My thanks to you and your whole team. I also think Regina also played a key-role in the background, also my thanks to her.

Wilfred de Herder, Senior Vice President CIO, Océ N.V.

Charel van Hoof, Head of Philips IT Applications & Value Space ERP excellence

Hi Rob,
It was a nice party yesterday and as always, perfectly organized. I also made some nice contacts so it was useful as well. Thanks for inviting me!

Ton van Dijk, CISM, CISSP, Director Head of Information Security Operations

Dear Rob,
Thanks for an excellent evening. The setting was very stylish, and the atmosphere cozy. Congratulations with a job well done. The only criticism I have, and to be honest, I do not know how to solve it, is that any conversation during a music performance is impossible. And an important incentive for most of us to attend is some exchange of ideas. The exception was the first of the two performances of Nina Ebbenhout. On the other hand, the comment at my table was that it was too bad that her first performance was hardly noticed, just because of the low volume. I guess it is impossible to satisfy each and every one of us. All in all, I really enjoyed myself.

Regards,
Jan Tijmen Udding, CIO, PSA Antwerp NV

' Dear Rob, With this I would like to thank you personal for a wonderful evening, particularly Candy and Leona were great. But also Big Black & Beautiful were great, for me as a R&B and funky soul fan. Another very beautiful experience this way! It's a shame I mist the Golden Earring(s!) in Cannes which you referred to... All was great this way. This I wanted to share with you. A compliment is in place and also a pat on the shoulder. Great job. Regards, have a nice evening with those who have helped you en goodbye for now. '
