With just one month to go until the highly anticipated European Outdoor Summit (EOS) 2016, the European Outdoor Group (EOG) is pleased to announce a new Networking APP for Summit delegates. The hi-tech solution to professional networking is being delivered in partnership with Myagi, the innovative online learning network for retail sales associates.
The Summit, to be held on the 29th and 30th September 2016 in Barcelona, offers the outdoor industry a unique opportunity to come together and listen to some truly insightful speakers, participate in engaging activities and break-out sessions, but most importantly to network across disciplines with the ultimate aim of improving business practices, stimulating growth and increasing innovation within the industry.
For many professionals working in the Outdoor industry, the EOS is a rare opportunity to connect with business associates across the entire European region. Whilst Europe’s neat geography ensures easy trade links physically, conducting business in Europe often transcends multiple languages and multiple offices on a daily basis, making business within the region complex. There will be in excess of 300 senior executives attending the EOS and even the most organised person would find it a challenge to meet the right people or listen to the most relevant speakers over a two day period. Yet seasoned event attendees are all too aware of the importance of making the opportunities at the EOS deliver results.
