About us
The Organizer:
CEE Business Media Europe OU has been organizing events for the GBS/Shared Services sector in Europe for the last 14 years. As a media group, CEE produces annual Summits, Awards events, and media (including Directories and Newsletters). CEE’s international events are mostly focused on events in Europe for the European corporate sector, but include past events in New York, Austin, Miami, and Tokyo.
Leveraging our deep connections within the Central Eastern European (CEE) region’s Business Services sector, we connect investors with key sector players and top GBS managers, providing insights across CEE and Baltics. And we’ve been operating in the region – focusing on inward investment – for nearly 25 years.
The European Business Services Association is the organization that groups all of our activities under one umbrella. The Central Eastern European region is clearly one of the world’s top regions for business services (shared services, captives, BPOs, etc.) and an emerging world-class technology hub in its own right.
Our aim is to provide insights, connections, and events for global corporates, who have global services centres supporting their core operations.
The company is led by Thom Barnhardt, with a small team of top-performing staff and advisors in Poland, United States, Australia, France, Italy, Austria, Philippines, UK, and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Our expansion to Saudi Arabia and GCC is driven by our long-standing clients.
