President's Club 2023 Istanbul

September 20, 2023 - September 24, 2023

Dear Superstar,

You are part of an elite group in SoftwareONE! Congratulations on being amongst the very best in the company.


Your outstanding achievements over the last year and your exceptional contributions and hard work have been instrumental in driving our company’s success, and we are proud to have you as a valuable member of our SWO family.


Your dedication, passion, and commitment to excellence are truly inspiring. You have exceeded our expectations, and your exceptional performance has not gone unnoticed. Your contributions have made a significant impact on our company’s growth, and we are incredibly grateful for your efforts.


Your success is well-deserved, now get ready for the next SWO PC Event. We will take you to a city that will fascinate you with its contrasts. The city is situated on two continents - Europe and Asia - and is divided by the Bosphorus Strait, which connects the Black Sea to the Mediterranean. This makes it one of the few cities in the world that straddles two continents, and visitors can take a cruise along the Bosphorus to take in the stunning views of the city from the water. Its cultural and historical significance, Istanbul is also a modern and cosmopolitan city with a thriving food scene, vibrant nightlife, and world-class shopping. Visitors can indulge in Turkish cuisine, which is known for its flavorful spices and fresh ingredients, or explore the city's trendy cafes and bars.


We are sure you are already as excited as we are. Use the heat of the moment to read on and fill out the registration form to be part of the President’s Club 2023 in Istanbul.

If you haven't been redirected automatically, please go to the tab registration and enter your personal registration code, which we have sent to you by email.

Istanbul

Istanbul is one of the few cities in the world that straddles two continents. Embraced by the Bosphorus Strait and offering a breath-taking skyline that features ancient domes and minarets, the Turkish capital is one of the must-see cities on earth.


Four great cultures proudly called this metropolis their hub and today this sprawling city offers everything from exquisite Ottoman palaces, awe-inspiring churches and mosques, and the ultimate bargain-seeker’s paradise – the Grand Bazaar.


At this year’s President’s Club, we will discover this rich and unparalleled city, which will live on in your heart long after you leave…
