On Wednesday, April 17, Thal Technologies hosted a memorable customer event at its headquarters in Almere. The afternoon brought together a unique mix of content, experience and personal connection — with highlights including a dynamic keynote by Tim Coronel and a spectacular performance by a professional illusionist.
A Warm Welcome and a Special Farewell
The event opened with a heartfelt welcome and a moment of reflection. In an intimate and appreciative setting, we celebrated the retirement of Ad Musters, who had been the face of Thal for many years. His vision, dedication and close relationships with customers and colleagues have been of great value to the company. During his farewell, we looked back on his many accomplishments and the lasting connections he built — and witnessed the symbolic handover to his successor, Ronald Kunneman.
From Dakar to Data – Tim Coronel on Speed, Failure and Innovation
Following the farewell, Tim Coronel took the stage. With his trademark energy and humor, he took the audience on a journey through his world of speed, innovation and entrepreneurship. He spoke candidly about the highs and lows of the Dakar Rally, the value of resilience, and the power of collaboration — themes that strongly resonate with Thal and its partners.
Magic, Networking and Laughter
After the formal program, it was time for wonder and surprise. A skilled illusionist amazed guests with seemingly impossible acts, clever tricks and playful interaction. As the magic unfolded, delicious snacks and drinks were served, and meaningful conversations emerged. Customers, suppliers and colleagues connected in a relaxed atmosphere. There was laughter, networking and forward-looking dialogue — exactly what this event was designed to encourage.
