Finat’s Young
Managers Club (YMC) – a lively part of the European self-adhesive labelling
association -- announces it will hold its second global congress at the
Sheraton Hotel in Bratislava, Slovakia on April 16-18, 2015. In recent years,
YMC has selected locations in Central and Eastern Europe for its gatherings as
part of its strategy to connect more with members from that region.
Congress Theme: ‘Climb to the top’
Based on the
positive experience gained from previous YMC meetings, this year’s programme
once takes again a very hands-on approach, combining a company site visit, workshops,
and panel discussion sessions.
‘YMC represents
some 80 young managers from companies active in the self-adhesive labelling
supply chain across Europe and beyond,’ says Young Managers Club President,
Dana Kilarska. ‘The 2015 summit will bring us inspiring management practice and
valuable networking opportunities. With the help of professionals and experts
we can improve our business performance and learn about changing our behaviour
to become more successful. We are young and eager to learn.’
‘The concept of
managing a ‘thin company’ is about identifying the bottlenecks within one’s
company to find and employ better solutions, and run the business more smoothly
-- both at a production and administrative level,’ says Dana Kilarska.
‘The workshop
on the 7 habits of highly-effective people can guide any company towards
success and inspire our young leaders,’ she continues. ‘Twenty five years after
the book on “7 habits of highly- effective people” appeared, the principles are
timeless and remain more relevant than ever. On an individual level, people are
experiencing burn-outs, while on a collective level we are burning up the
planet. Participants will learn how to deal with setting individual goals while
respectfully collaborating as a team.’
‘When the Finat
Young Managers Club was founded in 2008 on the occasion of Finat’s 50th
anniversary, the aim was to create a platform where incoming business leaders
could connect Finat’s successful past with a dynamic future. Now, six year
later, the YMC itself has become an established feature of our association’s
structure. Nevertheless it is still refreshing to experience the continuing
stream of the YMC’s high-quality, interactive, and business-oriented
programmes, which are setting new standards in Finat,’ concludes Jules Lejeune,
Managing Director, Finat.
