Professionals from many local leading companies will take part in an innovative business leaders’ conference.

The half-day conference, which will be held at the Radisson Golden Sands, Għajn Tuffieħa, on Friday, will touch on the topics of leadership, adaptability, consistency and communication, as well as positive and negative change experiences of some of Malta’s leading entrepreneurs.

This year’s theme, ‘Change your frequency’, will tackle the importance of adapting an organisation to shifts in the marketplace. It follows from 2010’s highly successful ‘Selection to perfection’ conference, which highlighted the need for good recruitment, focused training, objectives oriented human resources management and teambuilding within companies.

“If the economic crisis taught us one thing, it is that businesses have to be ready to change and adapt,” explains Gianni Zammit, director of Jugs@Malta, one of the three entities behind the conference.

“Last year’s event was successful because it encouraged business professionals to think and look at new ways of doing things.

“Based on the feedback from those who attended, as well as the number of invitees who are eager to join once again, we know the delegates gained a lot from last year’s conference.

“This year already promises so much more in terms of useful information and solutions that business leaders can really utilise.”

Speakers include Steve Tarr, managing director Mdina Partnership, Sue Cole, director Guthrie and Cole Ltd, UK, and Steve O’Halloran, BDM at Mdina Partnership UK which works with Exemplas.

“The line-up promises to be both enlightening and engaging. We are also keeping one ‘surprise’ activity in store for the end. It will certainly encourage change and be in keeping with the overall theme of the event,” Mr Zammit says.

Change Your Frequency is organised by Jugs@Malta, Konnekt and Mdina Partnership, in collaboration with Island Hotels and BRND WGN and sponsored by Exemplas, Melita, Motherwell Bridge, Smart Technologies and Sky Parks Business Centre.
