Swiss SME Day 2018: SMEs and decisions - what (really) counts in everyday life
On October 26, 2018, the Swiss SME Day will focus on the topic of "SMEs and decisions - what (really) counts in everyday life". The organizers again expect well over 1,200 participants from the Swiss SME scene.
Once a year, St.Gallen becomes the meeting place for Swiss SMEs - this year for the sixteenth time. This year, the Swiss SME Day will once again focus on the current challenges facing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs): What do SMEs have to pay attention to, how do they make decisions, and how confident can they be in doing so - this is what expert speakers will be talking about.
Transform and turn
After the introduction to this year's SME Day by host Tobias Wolf, Elgar Fleisch, researcher in the "Internet of Things", explains his topic "the digital belly". Miriam Baumann-Blocher, Managing Director and Chairman of the Board of Läckerli Huus AG, deals with the aspect of "tradition versus innovation". After lunch, Myriam Locher, founder and CEO of Bettermind, talks about "how artificial intelligence teaches us to think bigger." This will be followed by the presentation "How to decide in the South Pacific?" by Hansjörg Hinrichs, owner "Pacific Society". "The art of clear thinking" reveals Rolf Dobelli, author, while former soccer referee Markus Merk closes the conference by "Sich(er) entscheiden".
At no other conference are Swiss SMEs closer to each other.
The Swiss SME Day is an established and sought-after platform for the exchange of entrepreneurs and executives from Swiss SMEs - in line with the motto "At no other conference are Swiss SMEs closer to each other". Patronage for the Swiss SME Day has been assumed by important institutions: The Swiss Trade Association (SGV), economiesuisse, the St.Gallen-Appenzell Chamber of Industry and Commerce, and the Cantonal Trade Association of St.Gallen. The event is supported by a number of co-sponsors and long-standing main sponsors to whom SME concerns are very important: Raiffeisen, Helvetia, ABACUS, OBT and Swisscom, as well as numerous SMEs from the industrial and service sectors.
The event is offered and organized by the Swiss Institute for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises at the University of St.Gallen (KMU-HSG) and the agency alea iacta ag. Registration for the Swiss SME Day is now open via http://www.kmu-tag.ch/Anmeldung possible. In recent years, the event was always sold out early.
