The FINAT Young Managers Club (YMC) has announcesd the full program of its second summit. Open to both YMC members and non-members under the age of 40, this year's edition will be held at the Hilton hotel, Warsaw, Poland on November 7-8, 2013.
Since its origin in 2009, FINAT's YMC club has grown significantly and currently represents a truly international group of 73 of young entrepreneurs under 40. The Club represents companies, indirect or direct suppliers and converters alike, that play an active role in the global labeling value chain.
"These future leaders of our industry find in the Young Managers Club an ideal platform to build up their international network among peers who face the same challenges," says Kurt Walker, FINAT president. "Participating to educational events such as the YMC summit, brings an excellent foundation for the exchange of ideas, forges strong professional and personal relationships and helps contributing to the growth and success of their businesses."
"The YMC members are passionate about the industry and their work, and passion is infectious in young businesses, as it is in life," says Dana Kilarska, newly appointed president of the YMC club and second generation label converter professional at Purgina, Slovakia.
This year's theme 'Great Ideas with Limited Resources' reflects the current economic reality young industry managers are operating in. Having to accomplish more with limited resources requires a flexible business dynamic and new managerial skills. Buzz words such as innovation, creativity, optimization and leadership need to being turned into operational 'excellence'. How do young managers design and implement and innovation strategy? How do they transform an idea into a marketable product or service? Organizers say that these and many more questions, along with inspirational and educational guidance, will be provided during the summit. A detailed schedule is below.
