Going for Gold - In Business and this Summer in Marseille

Date: 30th May 2024
Time: 18:30 - 22:00 CET
Location: Gustavino Italian Restaurant, Amsterdam Zuid
Logistics: 2 mins from Amsterdam Zuid Station, 2 mins for Local Parking

 

During an evening dinner event on Thursday, 30th of May 2024, we will explore what it takes to go for Gold in the coming decade. Diving into technology, data, and business trends, we will be bringing guest speakers from the world of business and sport to explore what it takes to succeed, and why it is that organisations often overestimate what they can achieve in a year, and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade.

 

Learning from Elite Athletes, Business Leaders (CEOs, CIOs) & Technologists

Events like the Olympics come once every 4 years. To be prepared to grasp the Gold Medal when opportunities present themselves is perhaps the toughest battle. To do it consistently? Extremely hard.


We'll be joined by special guests, olympic sailors, ex-olympic athletes, members of federation, esteemed colleagues and clients to have an open-panel discussion on what it means to pursue success.
