Event Description:

This session promises to be a lively and relevant discussion tailored to companies doing business in Europe and particularly to women engaging in such international transactions.  After introductory remarks by Ambassador Bolos Bokor representing the Republic of Hungary - which currently holds the Presidency of the European Union – and a general overview of critical success factors for women driving international transactions, the seminar will offer concurrent break-out sessions focusing on specific regions including Northern Europe, Western Europe, Southern Europe and Central Europe and will highlight key features unique to each area. 

Sessions will include individual presentations, panel discussions and Q&A.  Some of the topics that will be covered are practical suggestions on how to transform cultural challenges into opportunities for success, the impact of a different legal and economic framework, the value of international networking, discussion of business cases and how to learn from them, tips on specific cultural nuances, and health and safety considerations.

A networking reception will be held immediately following the seminar.
