Former Speaker Team Leader

"Personally, I felt that I grew a lot - the experience taught me how I can organize my time better and how I can be as efficient as possible. I learned how to communicate constructively within a team and gained a lot of knowledge in how the conference industry works. My experience was also quite attractive on the CV, and I was asked about OBF and my experience in interviews, which led to my job as an Event and Meeting Consultant at Radisson Hotel Group."
