Dear colleagues and friends,
We hope you were able to recharge your batteries over the Christmas holidays after this special year full of surprises and uncertainties that will probably stay with us for a while. But we are convinced that this new year will also open up new opportunities.
Whatever you dream of in this regard, success on stage, millions of followers on social media or just the end of the pandemic. The AEC team wishes all your dreams to come true in year twenty twenty-two!
