Thank you to all the members who joined us for the GCN apéro last night. The atmosphere at the Château de Penthes was a perfect backdrop for an evening of great conversation and community, including our fun, animated networking exercise.
It was a pleasure to see such a vibrant group, combining our loyal past members with many newly joined faces.
Below are a few photos of the event, taken by the talented Geraldo Pestalozzi.
We look forward to welcoming you again very soon at an upcoming GCN event.
