ABSL Summit 2023 “Lead the way. Stay ahead”: Registration for an event in Kraków in now open

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.

ABSL Summit – where the leaders meet

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. The overall objective of the ABSL Summit is to define future growth opportunities and risks as we build a globally competitive business as well as investment ecosystems in local communities across Poland, CEE and broader Europe. The highlight of each event is a conversation with a world renowned keynote speaker, who is always a highly inspirational and thought provoking individual of international recognition.

Past speakers of the event have included:

  • Madeleine Albright, US Secretary of State (1997-2001)
  • Tony Blair, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1997-2007)
  • Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States (1993 - 2001)
  • Al Gore, Vice President of the United States (1993 – 2001)
  • Garry Kasparov, Chess Grandmaster, Chairman at the Human Rights Foundation
  • Simon Sinek, renowned leadership expert

This year's ABSL Summit 2023 speakers will be announced soon.
