On Wednesday, 5 November, the telecom sector gathered for TechSummit Autumn, a joint initiative by NLconnect and SCTE Benelux. The theme—“Green innovation: where technology and sustainability come together”—proved to be the common thread throughout an afternoon full of knowledge sharing, practical examples, and inspiring discussions.
The 80th anniversary of SCTE was also celebrated in the Benelux. This year, the annual dinner for members and their partners took place at a unique location: the Mauritshuis in The Hague. On the evening of Thursday, February 13, the museum opened its doors exclusively for SCTE Benelux. Guests dined among renowned masterpieces such as Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer and The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt. Many attendees also participated in the guided tour.
The Mauritshuis has an international allure, housing an extraordinary collection of Dutch and Flemish paintings from the 17th century. After dinner, SCTE members continued exploring the museum’s exquisite art collection, providing ample opportunities for networking. One attendee remarked, “I don’t know what I enjoyed the most—the dinner, the art, the music, or the conversations with industry colleagues.”
