Round-tables and debates at Cluj Napoca Business Days event

First introduced in the program of Business Days events at the 6th edition in Timisoara, due to the success and mainly to the impact on business environment, we have decided to make permanent these debate sessions around topics of interest for the particular business environment within which the event takes place.

At the edition in Cluj Napoca, the focus shall be on four major topics:

1. Business Strategy 2. Outsourcing 3. Communication and PR in troubled times 4. Modern human resource management strategy

The round-tables have on average 12-16 special guests and 1-2 moderators who debate around the topic. Each session has two parts:

1. In the first part, there is a session of questions asked by the moderator and the guests are asked to answer each of them in maximum 1 minute

2. In the second part, there is a session of questions asked by the audience (from the participants) moderated by the facilitator

The speakers at the round-tables are carefully chosen by the organizers to cover as many areas and a relevant variety in the business environment. The guests are both representatives of local businesses and important representatives of businesses on national level.
