"First of all, it was again a pleasure to be at Akoesticum! We had a very successful congress. You guys should be proud of such employees!!! Team bookings thanks for all the guidance and last minute things. If there is anything we can do as an 'ambassador' for Akoesticum, please let us know. Akoesticum is a unique place - even our foreign guests know of no other place in Europe where you have this. We would like to come back again in 2026 for the 3rd Congress."
