Agenda 5 March: AI-in-focus; and Nominations Showcase Presentations

Our first day features a focus on AI, applied to GBS operations, with Case Studies, and practical, actionable advice. We also have our highly-popular “Nominations Showcases”. These rapid-fire (10 min only) presentations give you insights into best-practices from top, short-listed BSCs across the CEE and Baltic regions.

Start the Day strong with our Networking Breakfast, fresh juices, and omelette station!
