172 companies Short-Listed at CEE SSO Awards

In 2018, we expect another sell-out audience of 300+ guests with more than 50 being international firms expanding their business services centres – or interested in setting up in central Europe. The Awards Gala will be preceded by a full Pre-Day (31st January) focused on HR issues inside SSCs; a half-day Summit (1st February) covering the Shared services and outsourcing sector; Break-Out sessions with deep insights into specific issues driving the sector; and once again our popular “Site Visits”. With more than 44 Speakers and 32 Jury Members, the 6th annual CEE Shared Services Summit and Awards is a not-to-be missed event to kick off the new year.
