3GSM is the world’s largest congress for the mobile telecommunications industry. In February 2007 Gusto secured a central Barcelona hotel exclusively for 3i. Over 30 3i investee companies attended 3SGM. 3i, along with Gusto, organised an impressive week, the Hotel Catalonia Ramblas, where the 3i team and 3i backed portfolio stayed enjoyed three extremely successful networking cocktail parties with over a total 730 guests.

Gusto is also delighted to be supporting 3i at next year’s congress in Barcelona. Again 3i will host over 30 portfolio companies and key contacts at the Catalonia Ramblas Hotel. In addition to this Gusto are also supporting with the organisation for the Venture Advisory Board, a VIP event which shall follow on from the congress. As well as exclusive dinners and board meetings we will also be creating a fantastic spouse programme.

We have chosen to work with Gusto Events as they have a very impressive global network and knowledge on how to support a global company like 3i with high quality event management. Gusto has become a vital extension of the team and they are very professional yet friendly and approachable to work with. No job is too much trouble for them and they always seem to find great solutions and keep very calm at all times. They always have great strategic and creative ideas and they have helped raise our events to a new level. Maria Nilsson-Stewart – Global Venture Marketing Manager
