Denkwerkstatt für Manager

Geschwill & Nieswandt

Symposium

Denkwerkstatt live! A small group of participants by personal invitation, keynote speeches on key topics, open and controversial discussions - since their launch in 2011, the Denkwerkstatt symposia for managers have become a fixed date in the annual planning for us and our customers.

Even more: The topics of the symposia are always red-hot, often ahead of their time. With keynote speeches followed by open talks, the format of the Denkwerkstatt symposia offers plenty of freedom for thought-provoking work. In these rounds, people like to discuss openly and controversially. Networking and a change of perspective characterize this event.
