Statement Wouter ter Halle, owner of Wsquared Media:
After two years of events at the yearly HME expo we were shocked to hear about its cancellation last month. With the recent continuation of the HCC in the HCC!digital expo we are very happy to join the gaming part of the expo with our EPS finals booth. With this event we are very happy to once again do our finals in the center of Utrecht at the Jaarbeurs.
