Nominations in 24 categories are still open for the 7th annual CEE Business Services Awards Gala - set for 31st January, 2019, at Warsaw's Hotel Intercontinental.

Nominations deadline is 23 November. In December, the Jury will receive the full list of all Nominations, to be ranked, resulting in our Short-List to be announced in mid-December. These “Short-Listed” firms move on to the final vote (30th January), to be cast at the Jury Dinner one night before the CEE Business Services Awards Gala – set for 31st January 2019.

Some of our newest Jury members are from top global firms BNY Mellon, Ideal Standard, Telia, Amersports, HSBC, and the Bulgaria Outsourcing Association.

Speakers are rapidly filling up for the 3 related Conferences that precede the Awards Gala, including:

• 3rd annual “HR in SSCs FORUM” - 30 January. The 3rd annual “HR in SSCs Forum” is 100% focused on decision-makers in the HR departments of SSCs (Directors, Managers, Recruiters, senior staff). We have more than 20 top Panelists from HR divisions of SSCs. Our Forum is a platform for exchanging experiences, education and integration – specifically tailored to the unique demands of large Business Services centres (SSC, GBS, BPO/ITO, CoE).
  
  
• 1st annual “CEE RPA/Process Automation Workshop” - 30 January. The 1st annual “CEE RPA/Process Automation Workshop” dives deep into the subject of Business Process Automation, with case-studies, examples, and practical advice about how to get started, how to identify processes that are ripe for automation, and how to execute and deliver a Process Automation project and strategy inside your SSC. The workshop is 100% focused on RPA teams inside SSCs in CEE. Join us for Case-Study presentations and “lessons learned” from those who have already implemented Automation projects, hear from vendors offering different solutions to various processes, and benefit from a day of practical, actionable next-steps in the Process Automation process. Throughout the day, several RPA vendors and implementation advisors will present examples at their stands.
  
• 7th annual SSC Executive Summit - 31st January. Keynote Opening by Gartner's Katie Gove, on How technology is driving development of new services and more efficient processes. Followed by 25 speakers mostly end-users and Break-out sessions.
  
• Site visits (2): a world-class SSC/CoE; and a leading-edge R&D centre. Attendance at these site visits is limited and will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
