This year's ABSL Summit, Europe’s most important meeting place for business services leaders, held in ICE Kraków’s interiors, will take place on September 6-8. Pre-sale of tickets for the event, which dwells into the changing world by bringing together business, politics and economics, has just begun. Registration can be made at the event website.
The business services sector’s scale, maturity and flexibility has positioned the CEE region as a leader in implementing and delivering digital and innovative solutions. With resilience, adaptability and growth all being part of sector’s DNA, we have the potential to stay ahead and become the driving force for economic renewal, both to the west and east of our borders. Will Eastern Europe lead the way out of the polycrisis of the last four years?
This will be debated by business leaders and representatives from the public sector, academia and politics, who will sit on panels discussing three thematic streams, which this year focus on the resilience of business and its ability to forge a path in an uncertain environment, the adaptability that keeps our region a leader in the business services sector, and a track dedicated to the growth that comes from the ability to implement unexpected change.

Since 2010, the ABSL Summit has been one of the leading business events in the CEE region, a key meeting of business services in Europe, and a unique platform for discussions, analyses and predictions about trends and their impact, among top-tier business leaders, politicians, and economists.
