HSMAI Region Europe Leadership Day takes place on Tuesday, 27th September 2016 at French Riviera.
Following a successful restructuring, in the past couple of years HSMAI Region Europe has become truly pan-European. Now taking place for the second time, the Leadership Day gathers together HSMAI Region Europe volunteers and advisors across Europe to discuss current trends and challenges of the industry together with their peers.
HSMAI Region Europe wants to make sure that the Advisory Boards donÕt operate in silos only but that we will share information across the disciplines/Advisory Boards. The Leadership Day is one of the two annual occasions when all Advisory Boards have the possibility to come together and discuss across the different disciplines.
The audience will consist of HSMAI Europe Advisory Board members, HSMAI leaders, staff and sponsors. This event is by invitation only and we willÊbe around 40 participants altogether.
HSMAI Region Europe is taking care of the venue and catering for the day. We all have to cover our own accommodation and travel expenses, however.
