The pride of those 18 years !

17 February 2003, we were 14. Today 300 of us are taking charge of our future to defeat the covid-19 and the unprecedented crisis that our activities related to the business of #events are going through.

Standing on my own two legs, the #illumination and the #audiovisual, I imagine tomorrow with great envy and optimism.

I rubbed shoulders with the distribution and manufacturing dinosaurs: Patrice Miquelis, Jean-Charles Juliat, Dominique Picard, Richard Garrido, Pascal Briam, Eric Alvergnat, Michel et Pierre Guillard, Bob Schacherl, Richard Belliveau and many others. I climbed the ladder, met a giant, Eric Mouillefert, almost 2 meters high. I worked and remade the lighting world with Yvan Peard and the audio one with Patrice Van Den Bussche. I also participated in the design of the latest Freevox DJ4 console with Jean-Paul Gambart. With Bernard Cheramy, we made Starway what it is today. I participated with Bellote in giving back JBL Pro the place it has always deserved in France, giving a new breath to many historic companies and restoring its status to the illuminations pioneer: LEBLANC illuminations.

As we say and as I live it, the more you eat, the bigger your appetite and my will to participate in the design of our future trades remains intact.

Today, having 18 years of experience allows me to look to the future with incredible strength: the one of 300 women and men who, together, will make tomorrow a better day. You know them, Alexandra, Gilles, Éric, Rachel, Vincent, Elena, Mendy, Sébastien, Xavier, Isabelle, Laurent, Bernard, Catherine, Karima, Stéphane, Tristan, Nicolas, Mathieu, Hervé, Marjorie, Jean-Philippe, Jean-Luc, Philippe, Cédric, Célia, Suzana, Lydia, Stephanie... The list is long, 300! That's great!
Just like our partnerships with "Les Blouses Roses", the Salpêtrière Hospital. We support the greatest athletes’ requirements of the French skicross team alongside with the French Ski Federation and we sponsor Maxime, one of our collaborators, French champion of handikart for the 3rd consecutive year! Not to mention, of course, our unique partnership with the city of Megève that makes us shine around the world and demonstrates that a French village can twinkle beyond our borders.

Enough to approach serenely the next 18 years before my retirement...

Long story short, I have just reached my entrepreneurial majority.
