The more than 200 participants from 23 countries, most of whom high calibre management assistants, including PAs, marketing, HR and legal professionals, dealt with how to “face the realities of a constantly evolving business environment by anticipating and handling change and transformation in order to succeed and thrive.”
To achieve the aim of the conference, which usually combines a good balance of vocational and professional improvement with leisure and lifestyle, high-calibre speakers were brought in by the host organisers, such as former European Commissioner Education, Culture, Multilingualism & Youth Androulla Vassiliou.
Other speakers and trainers delivered workshops, tackling issues which are expected to shape the future of the profession of management assistants. They included PR consultant Cleopatra Kitti, Haifa Fahoum Al Kaylani, Dimis Michaelides, Michael Virardi, Aleen Andreou, Peter Andreou, Michael Strouthos and Maggie Erotokritou.
“It was a long journey of hard and passionate work with two main goals. To deliver a high quality context conference but also a memorable conference demonstrating the Cyprus hospitality, the professionalism of the Cypriots and promote our country, both as a tourist destination and an ideal centre for conferences,” said Rita Kotsapa, the National Chairman of EUMA Cyprus.
The five-day conference from September 23 to 27, included four workshops, the AGM, seven of pre- and post-conference tours and a Cyprus products exhibition.
