10th Annual Business Centers Conference
Thursday, Sep 12, 2024 From 09:00 to 13:00
Jurkovičova Tepláreň, Bottova 1, Bratislava
A Decade of Growth and Leadership - part of the Festival of Future
The future of work involves adapting to changing job landscapes, technological advancements, and evolving workplace dynamics. Organizations and individuals need to stay agile and prepare for these shifts as technology continues to evolve and companies are embracing digital transformation through designing adaptive and digitally fluent organizations.
Slovakia´s economy continues to rely on business centers as the third largest industry in preserving overall employment levels and adhering to all commitments/liabilities companies have, but to continuously climb up the ladder of value-added, the industry needs stronger and more targeted support from the Government and local municipalities. Continuous adaptation to digital transformation and commitment to diversity and inclusion demonstrates the sector's resilience and innovation.
Championing ESG standards and thorough talent management indicate a forward-looking approach. The sector's ability to respond to political instability, global economic pitfalls, and cybersecurity threats further underscores its strength and adaptability. These developments position the business services sector in Slovakia for another decade of sustainable success and growth in the global competitive environment.
AmCham´s Business Service Center Forum (BSCF) represents the business service industry in Slovakia with 40 000+ employees from a wide range of services and locations across the country. Join more than 200 BSC community members at the business services´ industry flagship event of the year, get inspired by world-class speakers, learn about the latest developments as well as reconnect with your fellow business leaders and enjoy the celebration – welcome to the jubilee 10th annual AmCham BSCF conference! - an integral part of AmCham´s Festival of Future series.
