Executive Assistants (EA) today are a new kind of employee, passionate, strong and committed. This means perfecting the art of scheduling, timing, prioritising and productivity all in one. EAs are well informed and organised to maintain flexibility while having a unique overview of the company, which commonly involves making critical decisions. The EA is trustworthy and bound to confidentiality for the safeguarding of highly sensitive information.

About

While performing many different individual tasks the EA must also be able to work alongside a team to meet their objectives; making the EA a paramount cross-functional asset to the company, requiring the highest standard in multi-tasking and efficiency.

THE 2ND ANNUAL BENELUX AND DACH EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT SUMMIT is a brilliant networking opportunity for EAs. We have gathered together world-renowned professionals to mentor and guide you through your day-to-day routines, and give you hands-on tips to make your work faster and more efficient. With the help of our speakers you will learn how to use your body language to achieve positive results in any sort of communication, how to become a leader, and how to mentor others. You will learn how important it is to build your own professional network. Our trainers will provide you with these valuable strategies and techniques to enhance the effectiveness of your executive support functions. We will take your skills to the next level!

After four successful Global Executive Assistant Summits that took place in Cannes, October 2014; Paris, May 2015; Lisbon, June 2016; Rome, June 2017, and two regional events in Stockholm and Berlin - December 2016, we are back in Germany!

Munich - is the capital and largest city of the German state of Bavaria, spread on the banks of River Isar, north of the Bavarian Alps. It is a major center of art, advanced technologies, finance, publishing, culture, innovation, education, business, and tourism.

Visit the picturesque Nymphenburg Castle – a royal palace that had been the residence and the center of power for Bavarian dukes, prince-electors, and kings for half a millennium. Or take a walk through the English Garden with its winding tracks, streams, meadows, an artificial lake, and the Chinese Tower with an idyllic beer garden. If you’re a museum geek, don’t miss the Deutsches Museum (German Museum), located on an island in the River Isar, it is the largest and one of the oldest science museums in the world.

Join us for the two-day adventure, full of highly-relevant topics, hands-on tips and training from world-renowned professionals. We are always happy to meet new attendees and greet old friends!
