Those who enjoy historical facts might remember that the ESG framework was first introduced by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2004. However, Lukáš Gábor (ACTUM Digital) and Michaela Kloudová (INCIEN) will tell us much more about this topic during their introduction on Wednesday, June 12th, on the ESG/SUSTAINABILITY stage.
Negotiation is the royal discipline that requires a combination of strategic thinking, empathy, and persuasiveness to achieve optimal outcomes for all parties involved. Mastery in this discipline means not only the ability to achieve your goals but also the art of creating long-term, mutually beneficial relationships. Therefore, we are honored to have the SIEMENS ENERGY STAGE and the amazing host duo, Martin Pokorný and Martin Zelinka, at this year's eBF procurement festival.
As part of eBF, we have prepared a real treat for you! This year, you can look forward to an exciting game that will take you through the entire festival town of Hawaii. Your task will be to visit all the booths of our partners, complete various fun tasks, and collect stamps in your game card.
The dramaturgical and hosting duo Michaela Garajova and Radka Špačková will leave no doubt that law, innovation, AI, and start-ups perfectly complement each other. As they say at SEDLAKOVA LEGAL, we think about consequences because today defines the future. They know that the law often describes the world of yesterday, while most of us already live in tomorrow. So, let's take a look into the future at the Thursday (June 13th) START-UP STAGE.
One of the constants and well-known faces at the eBF festival is Marcela Turčanová from APUeN AKADÉMIA. She is not afraid to tackle even the most complex public contracts, passionately discuss professional topics, or dive into timeless debates on mental health.
It's almost here! Next week, we will meet at the jubilee 20th edition of our procurement festival in Ostrava. Over the past 20 weeks, we have gradually presented you with reasons to attend, and now we have the final and equally important one for you – genius loci!
In the festival village, there will be a lot going on this year! A highlight, novelty, and opportunity for further exploration will be the booth of the "Best Copywriter" from Logos Agency and Deepeffects.ai tools. Thanks to Pavel Šenkapoun and Dan Faltýnek, we can find out which famous personalities our language style resembles or what our secret "key" words are. Furthermore, we can discover whether we write as well (and maybe even a bit better :) than some Nobel Prize laureates in literature or politicians who have influenced history – and that will be an unforgettable life experience.
At eBF, we will once again celebrate procurement successes, but we will also learn from the things that didn't go so well, whether they happened to us directly or to others. The ideal platform for this will be the stage dedicated to procurement mistakes, known as the "FUCKUP" stage. Through this, we will learn what to avoid in the procurement process and how to increase the chances of a smooth process in the future. Thanks to the dramaturge and moderator of the entire stage, Jirka Różański (Penta Hospitals), none of us doubt that we will navigate even the most delicate moments with finesse and a smile. Here's what you can look forward to:
Our heartfelt thanks go to the new partner of the eBF festival, Veolia. This prominent company, significant not only in the Ostrava region but also on a national and global level, has taken patronage over the "ESG/SUSTAINABILITY" stage this year. On Wednesday, June 12th, at the Imperial Hotel, we will open a range of key topics on this stage.
The 20th edition of the eBF festival will be filled with exceptional personalities, not only from the field of procurement. So, there will be something for everyone. Are you interested in the much-talked-about topic of AI – artificial intelligence? Then don't miss the lectures by Jaromír Šponar!
