The research day followed a more traditional format. The day started with key note by Chris Pearson (Cambridge Service Alliance). Then 3 selected research papers were presented for the whole audience. After lunch, the audience broke into parallel tracks. Gripping Martti Vannas, the Master of Ceremony, hosted the GalaDinner at The House of Nobility.

Business day

The business day addressed more business and professional oriented matters and professionals. We had three Scandinavian key note speakers in the morning: Professor Evert Gummeson from Stockholm University School of Business, Anne Stenros, Vice President Design at Kone Corporation and Anna Thygesen from Prime Time Kommunikation. Further, we had several workshops and an interactive Business Bazaar.
