🎯 The conference brings an emphasis on coaching leadership, teamwork and involvement in companies. At the same time, on the 20th anniversary of SAKo, we did not forget to support the professional growth of external or internal coaches. We will reveal where coaching has moved and where it is heading.

🧩 Through interesting speakers and guests, as well as foreign participation, we will bring actionable knowledge primarily for workers in the field of human resources, managers and leaders. Owners of companies or organizations, as well as coaches, will surely find their answers.

💬 In addition to useful lectures and workshops on current topics presented by professionals, the conference will also include a panel discussion, a space for networking and a coaching zone. 09:10
