  • 1.  IBM Champions in the Baltics - Estonia , Latvia & Lithuania

    Posted 18 days ago

    Hi everyone, 

    A quick browse through the directory shows there are no Champions in Estonia and one each in Latvia and Lithuania

    I am an honorary Lithuanian as I work with a couple of companies over there :-) and one of my relatives was born there !

    Inspired by recent initiatives in promoting the Champions in other regions of the world, I would like to get something arranged to show this region what they are missing 

    Does anyone else work with Baltic companies, or do business there ? I know that there is a close relationship with Poland and Germany and the companies I work with have many projects joining the countries.

    Looking forward to some ideas from the community 

    Thanks

    If you're not already hooked into GSE Nordic, that might be worthwhile. It's mainly the northern half of the Baltic Sea, but I do recall people crossing the Baltic from countries on the southern side on the ferry to come to the conference.

    Their conference, usually in June, is one of the best on the circuit. Check out: https://gse-nordic.org/

    Cheers,
    Morag

    Thanks, that is a good idea, I know a few of the Champions in that region. The GS situation changed this year and there are now two groups !

    GS UK and GS NL on one side and GSE Europe for the rest of Europe, I have no idea about the reasons and don't want to speculate :-) I am sort of in the middle as currently I live in the UK but my work has predominantly been with German companies due to me being fluent (well nearly) in German and having been born there

    I need to decide which GS* group to join , this year all groups have shared access to events but next year you need to choose your region !

    So, back to my original question - if there are any Nordic Champions that would be keen to work with me in expanding the knowledge through the Baltics, let's connect
