Find a headset and immerse yourself into the presentations, while having your lunch or drinking your well-earned coffee.
But where can you grab a quick coffee?
The TNC Café of course! Powered by Sparkle, you can pick up a coffee in between networking, learning, or simply taking five minutes to relax, all here at the TNC Exchange. Don’t forget TNC25 registration closes on 5 June 2025.
