Finat’s Young Managers Club (YMC), a part of the European self-adhesive labeling market, has announced its second global congress at the Sheraton Hotel in Bratislava, Slovakia. The event will take place from April 16 to April 18, 2015.
Recently, YMC has selected locations in Central and Eastern Europe for its gatherings as part of its strategy to connect with more members from that region.
With a theme of “Climb to the top,” this year’s program will take a 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 labeling 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 behavior to become more successful. We are young and eager to learn.”
YMC Congress Program:

"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,” adds 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 burnouts, 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,” says Jules Lejune, Finat’s managing director. “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 programs, which are setting new standards in Finat.”
