Knowledge, experience, inspiration – these are important, but not the only advantages of the congress. Competitive advantage is also built thanks to a rich network of contacts. From the morning, participants exchange business cards and discuss during networking sessions, and in the afternoon, in a more informal atmosphere, they exchange experiences and make friends. Come and see how they will pay off in the future.
Innovation, inspiration, integration – the CIA Congress organised by ICV is the most important controlling event in Poland
