Flash Point

Date: Monday, January 30th 2012

Time: 9.00 - 10.30

EMEC 2012 also brings to Budapest MPI’s FlashPoint programme, which presents exceptional speakers in a showcase of rapid-fire presentations on forward-thinking topics that have broad-reaching impacts on events and business. The programme is very popular due to its ability to give attendees a variety of concepts they often would not have encountered by focusing just within our industry education set, which in turn expands their business knowledge and enhances professional development. This year’s line-up of speakers comes from Denmark, The Netherlands and Switzerland: 

“Selling Ice Cream to Eskimos.” Dr. Pacelle van Goethem: Author, coach and researcher in the field of persuasion, voice and influence. 

“Brain Food”; Eating right – makes your meeting brain bright. Christian Bitz: The food we eat has a huge influence on our brain function. Hear from the Danish innovative nutrition expert Christian Bitz who introduced the Brain Food concept to the Meeting Industry.

“Hasn’t someone thought about this before?” Hans van Grieken: Expert on strategies that highly competitive companies (Samsung, Lego, Intel) use to source innovation efforts globally.

“The Secret of the Pareto Mindset.” Steven Loepfe: A Swiss entrepreneur and strategic coach explaining how the upper echelon of entrepreneurs tick.

“From Legacy to Dream to Reality!” René C.W. Boender: As a ’Brain Agent’, ’Trendteller’ and ’Innovation Futurist’; René will provide unique ‘story telling ‘insights on how business can go beyond their thinking and increase their entrepreneurship.
