It has been a pleasure to work with you!
You have done an unbeatable job, our congratulations to the team for their good work and team play at all times.
DMEXCO
After the tender we were happy to be able to commission PRG, one of the big players, who could react flexibly to the size of the project and equip almost everything from their own equipment pool. We worked together very homogeneously. Our PRG colleagues were always available and there was a fixed partner for each trade with whom I could communicate. It went very smoothly for us.
Tableau Conference
Having a global technical partner like PRG makes it very easy to run our congresses.
South Summit
The Collaboration with PRG on this project is based on the trust we have built working together with the same team for 9 years. It builds a relationship of trust that you don't have with other providers.
Celosphere
PRG's international network was really an advantage when it came time for me to find a crew while sitting in New York City for a German show.
OMR Festival
The main focus here is on our guests, and so that we have the optimal time and everything that is necessary to deliver for these guests, we all have to pull through together. It's completely cross-departmental, cross-company. We are an OMR team here and PRG is 100% part of it. I would like to say a big thank you for that.
Volvo Roadshow
About a year ago, we delivered our first roadshow by Volvo and with the agency Do it! - which was also supplied with technology by PRG. The cooperation was very, very good - both in the run-up and in the execution. That is one of the key reasons why we are working together again now.
Globecom
Now the congress is over, I would like to thank you all for your help, professionalism and willingness, and especially for the personal treatment we received from you. It has been a real pleasure to work with all of you and I hope we can repeat in the near future.
Dirección de Convenciones IFEMA
Thank you for the exceptional service you have provided for the 4+ months during which the ‘Módulo Permanente’ was running.
It is challenging to maintain the same level and enthusiasm throughout such a long project, but Servis, together with the PRG Crew, have shown the same professionalism from the first day to the last, as well as efficiency in coordinating the presentations and additional needs requested by individual ministries throughout.
