5th Next Generation Congress. FUTURE of NEXTgen

For the fifth time already, the successors from Polish family businesses will exchange their experiences at the NextG Congress, which will take place on October 5 and 6, 2020 in the heart of Poznan - Concordia Design. The event is organized by the Family Business Institute. The Congress is dedicated to the young generation of entrepreneurs from Polish family businesses, and the leading theme of the meeting is focused on digitalization, competences of the future, business trends and the role of successors in the future of Polish economy.

Participants of the event are mainly young successors from business families. They come to Poznan because they want to exchange their experiences with other participants who, like them, face the succession and business challenge in their native companies. "We know that only 8% of the successors want to take over the family business from their parents. That is why during the NextG Congress Polish successors hear stories of both successes and failures of their generation in companies and beyond. They confront their ideas about taking over the family business with the reality built by their parents or grandparents. Young entrepreneurs here share their experiences and establish relationships that often stay with them for many years. - says the President of the Family Institute Dr. Adrianna Lewandowska, MBA.

This year's edition of the NextG FUTURE of NEXTgen Congress focuses on a practical approach to business and upcoming economic changes. Therefore, leading foreign experts from the area of family businesses, including Susanne Bransgrove and Guillermo Salazar, were invited to the lectures and discussions. Polish practitioners and speakers will also be present; Zofia Dzik from the Humanites Institute, Dr. Marta Widz, Roman Wieczorek, Szymon Trzebiatowski and Dr. Adrianna Lewandowska from the Family Business Institute. So far, in the years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, a total of over 800 successors from companies such as Altom Design, Ania Kruk, Dr. Irena Eris, Grail, Inglot, Kazar, Kupiec, Kross, Oceanic, Oknoplast, Mitcar, Wojas, Wajnert Meble, ZPUE and Zbyszko took part in NextG.

The event will be entirely hybrid - with the possibility of taking part in a stationary formula for a limited number of participants (for safety reasons) and in two versions of ONLINE - for all those who choose to participate remotely. Virtual entry to the NextG Congress is a unique opportunity to personalize the agenda and adjust it to your needs.
