Just a mere few weeks before we are returning “home” with GGI's founder and Chairman Claudio G. Cocca.
Hosted by our member firm in Graz KAPP & PARTNER Rechtsanwälte GmbH, we have two events running side by side to one another, starting with the GGI German-Speaking Chapter (26-28 June) and then the GGI Leadership Forum (27-30 June), so it's definitely worth the trip. Benefit from attending both events at a reduced rate.
Immerse yourself in a long weekend of insightful discussions, inspiring speeches, splendid networking opportunities and unforgettable experiences amidst the serene setting of Das Eisenberg hotel. We just love the very special familial, hearty and cozy atmosphere.
During the German-Speaking Chapter, distinguished keynote speaker, Prof Dr Teodoro Cocca, will talk about “Staatsschulden: Fakten, Illusionen und Lösungen” (or “National Debt: Facts, Illusions and Solutions”).
Lorenz Huber and the String Quartet of the Leadership Orchestra will then look at “Das Dissonante Team” (or “The Dissonant Team”).
Indulge in a sumptuous lunch at the historic Kapfenstein Castle, where centuries of culture and tradition await. Revel in the ambiance as you savour delectable local cuisine amidst breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
For a taste of artisanal delights, don't miss the opportunity to visit The Cheese Artist in Riegersburg. Discover the artistry and craftsmanship behind their exquisite cheeses, crafted with passion and expertise.
Although the above outings are included in the German-Speaking Chapter only, early arrivals for the GGI Leadership Forum may also opt in on these excursions.
The end of the German-Speaking Chapter will also be the beginning of the GGI Leadership Forum. Unlike previous events where we begin with keynotes and presentations, the first official day of this event will allow members to unleash their adventurous spirit at AbenteuerWelten, where a day of excitement and thrills awaits. Engage in team-building exercises, and immersive challenges, fostering camaraderie and collaboration among participants.
On Saturday, Lorenz Huber will be back, this time with the Brass Ensemble quinTTTonic of the Leadership Orchestra. Together, they will cover the topic of “The Balanced Way of Leadership”. Their harmonious performance will uplift and motivate, leaving you with a renewed sense of purpose and vision. Get a new view on effective leadership strategies, guiding you towards success in today's dynamic world. Return to your office full of takeaways for your daily business.
Finally, before you return home, don't forget that there are much more delights and activities awaiting you, such as wine-tasting in Slovenia or an exciting chocolate factory tour.

We have another couple of combined meetings: the GGI Nordic-Baltic Meeting and the the GGI EasyMeet. With these events, we will return to Tallinn, the vibrant heart of Estonia, where innovation meets tradition in the centre of Europe. Tallinn's unique blend of medieval charm and cutting-edge technology will be the perfect setting for our conference.
The Nordic-Baltic Meeting offers the chance to connect with GGI professionals with an interest in the Nordic-Baltic region, who can offer valuable insights, partnerships and opportunities for joint business referrals.
The GGI EasyMeet will be a splendid get-together (not only) for junior professionals and associates to meet in an informal setting. It is also a wonderful opportunity for those who don't normally get to participate in GGI’s larger conferences to meet together and learn from one another.

We will jointly discover the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where cobblestone streets lead us through centuries of history. Let’s marvel at the medieval towers and fortifications that stand as silent witnesses to Tallinn's rich past. We also will immerse in the city's modern spirit as we explore its bustling startup scene and digital advancements.
Engage with fellow professionals against the backdrop of Tallinn's picturesque skyline. Network over traditional Estonian cuisine and world-class dining experiences, where local flavours intertwine with international influences.
