For our event in Malmö on April 12 we decided to organize a good old Friday after Work with King's Day as a theme.
We turned out to be a very nice and enthusiastic group: attendees were dressed according to the theme and even though the event officially ended at 20.00, most of us stayed much longer!

More of these evenings to come after the summer!

 (On 2 April, members of the Dutch Chamber were invited to participate in the international seminar “Preparing global leaders in a modern world”  at Grant Thornton. This event was organised by the CCFS in cooperation with the Dutch Chamber, other international Chambers and Grant Thornton.

Peter Bodin, global CEO of Grant Thornton,  held a presentation during which he talked about the crucial importance of incorporating diversity and gender equality, to be able to succeed in a global context.

A panel of current and future global leaders of this world then discussed the main topic of discussion, which was the future vision of leadership, with globalisation and diversity in mind. The key message that a few speakers wanted to give was that people have to be themselves in order to be happy with their jobs and lead people into the right direction. 

The panelists were: Mathias Wikström (founder of Doconomy), Håkon Vist (CEO of Veolia Nordic), Manon Escoula (product manager for OBH Nordica) and Niclas Karlsson (CEO of GSK Sweden). Two AFS exchange students were also invited to talk about their experiences about going international and what they have learned. The panel was moderated by Margareta Neld (Chair of AFS).
