The integrated software solution for international aid organisations

Customer Day

5 November 2020 in the Goethe city Wetzlar.

We regularly hold Customer Days to inform our customers about the latest developments and planned changes.

Our customers highly value such events because they can:

  • obtain information on current developments and planned changes,
  • ask questions and express wishes,
  • network with other WINPACCS users and benefit from their experience and know-how.

We also gain enormously from these Customer Days because they allow us to come into direct contact with our most invaluable critics. Exchanging ideas and views with you and meeting you in person is vital to us.

That’s why we’re looking forward to our next Customer Day on 5th November 2020 in Wetzlar Town Hall (Stadthalle Wetzlar).

Here you will find information about the workshops as well as pictures of Customer Day 2019.

Venue

image-1944

Located in the heart of the state Hessen in central Germany, Wetzlar straddles the river Lahn a mere 30 miles north of Frankfurt. Having been an economic and cultural hub of the region since medieval times, it is now most famous for its optics industry and its association with German national poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. With a population of just over 50,000 people, Wetzlar remains a favourite among visitors attracted not just by its historic old town and cathedral, but also its beautiful surroundings along the Lahn valley.
