​FAQs 2025:

​This is an update about key dates and logistics for our 13th annual CEE Business Services Summit & Awards, set for 5-6 March 2025 – and in particular for those of you who are  Speaking; or Presenting on 5th or 6th March as a “Nomination Showcase Presentation”. 
You can also see this adjacent YouTube video update we did on 12 February 2025.

1) Dates:
  • 5-6 March (Wednesday and Thursday): Our main focus in 2025 is: "Transformation and AI, applied to the GBS sector". The 2-day Summit will cover a range of subjects crucial to global directors and BSC Directors in CEE. Over the 2 days, we have more than 45 Panelists and Speakers.
  5 March (Wednesday):
  • Here is Agenda for 5 March, starting at 8am with an excellent networking breakfast over fresh fruit juices and omelette-station. (We expect 125+ Guests.)

  6 March (Thursday):
  • Daytime: Here is Agenda for 6 March, also starting at 8am with coffees & conversations. (We expect 175+ Guests.)
  • Evening Awards: 18:30 – 23:30 – CEE Business Services Awards Gala. The Awards Gala begins with opening cocktails at 18:30 in the main Ballroom (2nd floor) and the sit-down Dinner begins at 19:45, with celebrations after the Awards Gala of winners and great networking in the foyer (wine-tasting, etc.). (We expect 250 Guests.)
3 Examples of Showcase Presentations from 2024:
Showcase Presentations on 5 March:
We've got a full day, with 15 Presentations and insights into GBS/BSCs across CEE.
First Presentations start at 10am, just after the coffee-break, and you can see the order of Presentations on the Agenda pages (links above).  We have aimed to accommodate “out-of-towners” with a later slot, since some of you may be arriving that morning... If you have a strong objection to your time slot, please contact Thom individually.

Our "Popular Vote" allows Attendees to vote on the Short-List, which they will do that same day via the Brella platform (Polls function).


Logistics and Technical Issues:
  • Each of you (Showcase Presentations) has 8-10-minutes to present. I suggest you aim for 8 minutes, and leave 2 minutes for questions and discussions. Since we have a tight schedule, I will insist you stay within the time limit (and Thom Barnhardt will be moderating the day)... We also suggest you not spend time talking about your Group Company, but rather focus on your GBS/BSC and what services you are providing; how you are distinctive or different; and give some insight into your operations (both good things and challenges you face).
  • Mixing up your Presentation with Video, PowerPoint and Speaking.  Many of you will show a short-video (1-2 min) and/or continue with PowerPoint... That is all fine - we will be able to accommodate it.  Also, when you are speaking, we have a Podium (with a mounted speaker), and you will have a "clicker" to control your Presentation.
  • Technical Issues: Our AV/TechTeam is ready for most any type of presentations: Video, PDF, other SlideShow formats, etc. If you have a Presentation or Video, please EMAIL it to me before Sunday, 2 March, 18:00 – and bring a copy on Pendrive to the event (as backup)!
  • 1 or 2 Presenters is OK. You can choose to have just 1 person presenting or 2 – either is OK with us. To be certain: EMAIL me the name of who will be presenting from your side.
  • Brella Event App. All attendees have access to the excellent Brella Event App. And you have already been sent an automatic invitation from Brella.io. Furthermore, all Showcase Presentations will have a Digital Booth on the Brella App (allowing you to post additional information about the company, including Video and Presentations)... Mia Belusic from our team is fully in-charge (Digital booth looks like this). She will contact you individually during the week 17-21 February. We suggest you finalize your Booth by 25 February.
  • Brella User Tutorial.

2) Your Tickets. Each Showcase Presentations package includes 2 tickets to attend the Full Event (Both Days + evening Awards). You are automatically on “the List” already – there are no physical tickets.

If you would like to order extra Awards Gala tickets for your colleagues, please Reserve here.
