Vilnius welcomes the first international SSC conference in the Baltics
Over the
last years, many corporations have invested massively in the region to
establish cost-optimized centers dealing with business activities of their
parent companies all around the world.
Sensing the
increasing importance of the sector in this fast growing Nordic market, the
first international conference on shared service centers’ strategic management
has decided to come to Vilnius on 12-13 October to gather over 2 days the most
important actors of the industry.
One month
prior the event, the organizers visited the host city to meet with local SSC
movers and shakers.
“It is
really important for us to show our dedication to the region by flying to
Vilnius to meet several key stakeholders of the SSC industry” said Jules
Hudry-Prodon, Managing Director of Connect Minds. “We have received such a
great support from all sides when we decided to bring one of our flagship
events to Lithuania that we wanted to do it the right way, that is to say,
coming in person to strengthen relationships and to build on the long run”, he
added.
Mr.
Remigijus Šimašius, Mayor of Vilnius, along with Invest Lithuania, insisted to
fully endorse the event as part of a global strategy to support existing
operating centers and to attract foreign direct investments to the city.
“It is an
honor for the municipality of Vilnius to be selected as a location for the
Baltic SSC Conference”, Mayor Šimašius said. “We have decided to support the
event as a commitment to our engagement towards the development of the SSC
industry in the city and we warmly encourage all related professionals to
attend the conference that promises to be not only insightful, but also a
fantastic opportunity to network with international leaders”.
The highly
targeted conference will attract around 60 decision makers from more than 10
countries to discuss the challenges of managing SSCs in the face of fierce
international competition and scarcity of trained human resources.
Wanted by
the organizers to be “informal though informative and decisive”, the Baltic SSC
Conference will allow participants to network and exchange on their current
most pressing issues in the cozy environment of the Kempinski Hotel Cathedral
Square.
