France Local Chapter Launch and Meeting

France Local Chapter Launch and Meeting

05 June, 2019 |

The initial meeting of the iMasons France Chapter was held on June 5th in Monaco.

Founded in April of 2016, Infrastructure Masons is a non-profit association of Digital Infrastructure professionals guided by an Advisory Council of industry leaders responsible for some of the largest and most advanced digital infrastructure portfolios in the world. iMasons is very active in addressing the talent gap through Education, Training and Scholarships and promoting diversity.

The overarching aim of iMasons is to “Connect, Grow and Give Back“. An iMasons Local Chapter is a geographically specified area or region where the Digital Infrastructure Industry (End Users and Partners) benefit from regional focus and coordination. Whenever iMasons meet – we leave our companies at the door.

Legrand – Founder Partner France Chapter

iMasons is excited to welcome Legrand as the Founder Partner for the French iM Chapter. The iM France Chapter joins a growing ecosystem of other EMEA iM Chapters in Nordics, Spain, Italy and UAE.

iMason’s mission to unite the Builders of The Digital age and “Connect Grow and Give Back” is perfectly aligned with Legrand philosophy and approach.

Frederic Xerri, Executive VP Europe
