The stormy weather was a blessing in disguise, but the "rush" was still huge: with a record number of over 900 guests, the Hannover Region's business reception at Hannover Adventure Zoo was a complete success. On July 5, representatives from politics, business, administration and the media came together for the annual networking event and to exchange new ideas and projects, accompanied by music from the "Brudy Ensemble".
