Convention

Welcome to the International GSA Convention!

September 07-08, 2012 at the Hotel HILTON Dusseldorf

„Future Speaking” stands for two key aspects: “How will we design our presentations and trainings in the future?” and “Which contents will concern us in the future?”

Future – that means linking-up knowledge to an information society in which confidence plays a central roll. Knowledge and data can be gained unlimited but whom and whose knowledge do people trust? Who gives orientation? Future-Manager Pero Mićić and British Graeme Codrington provide an introduction to the changed living and working environment.

Babyboomer, Generation Y or Millennial – how do I deal with the respective age group?
Which generation grows up currently and what makes them roll? Canadian Cheryl Cran and seventeen-year-old Philipp Riederle present their strategies and priceless insider information for designing your presentation in the future.

NSA-president Ron Culberson and strategic alliance-expert Ed Rigsbee from the US examine the topic “Future Speaking” from the humorous and the philanthropic side.

Economics journalist Erik Händeler shows you the way to the next Kondratieve waves. He states that we determine the prosperity of tomorrow by our social behaviour and ethics of today. Which means the speaker and trainer bear even more responsibility regarding which values they impart in their presentations?

The Key-Notes will be supplemented by several practical-oriented workshops – for the first time also for members of staff! New formats like the Un-Conference (moderated discussion round) and the Pecha-Kucha-presentations (presenting a topic with the help of 20 PP-slides á 20 seconds) will encourage the interexchange and networking.

A think tank on the highest level will be enabled by the One Million Dollar Table which will be realized for the first time following NSA’s Million-Dollar Speakers Group.
