With this online SSPI Luxembourg Chapter event we were celebrating one year of the Luxembourg Chapter and listened to insights from the maritime and aero industry. As we were close to the holiday season, holiday trips were usually planned at this time of the year, which was quite challenging during the pandemic COVID-times. The industry was hit hard, still, there were some options available. Our guest speaker and expert in his domain talked about: “Flights and Cruises: what’s still possible today and in the near future?” by Andrew Faiola, Mobility Head at ST Engineering iDirect. This event was also a chance to join us for a virtual drink as part of this one hour event and participants were able to join our quiz with nice prizes sponsored by ST Engineering iDirect. The Christmas Sweater dress code was the cherry on the cake to make it a great event.
