I would not attend any of these because I work in a different field than management or marketing.
I would not to attend any of these conferences because I'm not a manager, more than that, I think that the value of such sessions is overrated
I would like to attend all of the conferences, but the conference I think is more interesting is the one about conflict management.
I think I would be interested in attending the conferences Managing international projects and Conflict management because I work in an international workspace and should know how to build intercultural communication and manage conflicts.
I'm not that interest of conferences .however, I would like to attend conferences about ' improve your English in a smart way '
I think I would like to attend (Developing Creative Thinking in your Team Conference) because that will help me and other to find and explore new ideas ,and help us to think in creative way or out of the box .
I would really want to attend a few conference sessions from this program.
The first one is the "Management Styles" session. I chose it because I'm confident that when you are an entrepreneur it's very important to consider your style of management. Because it affects directly the cooperation and relationships with team members. And then it could have its own impact on the whole business.
The second one I chose is the "Using Storytelling in Leadership Communication" session. Another integral part of successful business development is communication and leadership. About the importance of finding a common language with your team members, explaining the main targets, and inspiring your team to new achievements.
And the last one that I'd like to visit is the "Managing International Projects" session. Because it will be something new and interesting for me. I would like to know how to build communication between international team departments and manage international projects successfully when the business expands.
That's it.
Management style, To prepare myself to deal with my managers
I would like to attend the conference about leading small business, because i want to create my own business and it will help me to start easier.
I would like to attend that conference because we never know when that information can be usefull
