Going the Distance: ABCN Member Kristel de Prins Maximizes Her Industry Meeting Experience

After actively participating in ABCN's 17th Annual Strategic Summit, Kristel participated in a local running event bright and early the next morning.

ALLIANCE Business Centers NETWORK offers a multitude of advantages and opportunities for our Members. Many of our Members do a great job of maximizing these opportunities so improve their industry knowledge and know-how, and even tie manage to work in pursuit of their own personal interests and goals, too. One of the greatest opportunities we offer our Members is our annual meetings in North America and Europe, where colleagues, friends, and industry experts network, learn, and challenge each other – and themselves – both inside and out of the conferencing rooms.

ABCN Member Kristel de Prins is a great example of a Member who  maximizes her NETWORK Membership and really knows how to make the most of her time when attending an office business center industry meeting. Kristel truly knows how to hit the ground running – literally.  As Owner of VIP Offices in Belgium, Kristel actively pursues not only office business center industry knowledge, but a highly active lifestyle, as well. Kristel maximizes her ABCN Membership, attending NETWORK meetings whenever she can. 

"Kristel is one of our most all-around active Members – she’s highly involved with ABCN and with her own sports pursuits," Sandra Petri, ABCN Regional Manager – Europe, said. "When she can attend our meetings, she makes the very most of her time, visiting business center clients and also pursuing her athletic goals."

This past fall, she joined ABCN in New York City for the 17th Annual Strategic Summit. After actively participating in the intensive conferencing, networking, and social activities, Kristel wasn’t about to rest. She changed out her work shoes for running shoes and participated in a local running event. At the Poland Spring Marathon Virtual Kickoff bright and early the next morning, she took her own running tour of the city that never sleeps, putting in a good 10 miles.

"We look forward to seeing Kristel at our next meeting in Prague, where she will have plenty of opportunity to do some more running, biking, canoeing, and more!" Sandra said.
