This year, MetaSystems brought together its global family (#MetaSystemsFamily) in style by hosting the International MetaSystems Distributor Meeting in the heart of Heidelberg, Germany. For two days, representatives from 37 countries and all seven branches of MetaSystems met in the historic city to exchange insights, find inspiration, and collaborate internationally. This meeting carried on the long-standing MetaSystems tradition that started in 2002, linking distributors and partners from around the globe. Following a pandemic-induced break, the event came back in 2023 with increased energy and a new format that features regional conferences aimed at bolstering local cooperation. The program of this year showcased the newest developments by MetaSystems in automation and Customization Packages (CP), designed for emerging markets. Partners were provided with practical knowledge and tactics to confront new opportunities and challenges directly through participatory workshops. But it wasn’t all business! Participants enjoyed plenty of time for networking and camaraderie, highlighted by a scenic dinner cruise along the Neckar River, offering breathtaking views of Heidelberg castle and lively conversations under the evening sky. MetaSystems takes great pride in its vibrant international network of dedicated partners and extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the event’s success. As our guests returned home, we look forward to another year of growth, innovation, and shared success across the MetaSystems community.
