Tuesday
The Silicon Luxembourg Founders Cocktail was sponsored by LuxRelo on Tuesday, and co-founder Sandrine Lapointe took part in a panel discussion about entrepreneurship. Sandrine contributed her knowledge and experiences to the conversation on launching a business with her spouse at the age of 50. The event was also attended by LuxRelo's relocation manager, David Soum, who took pleasure to network and meet new people. As one of the event sponsor, LuxRelo was able to demonstrate its dedication to networking and entrepreneurship.

Meanwhile, Stéphane Compain, CEO of LuxRelo, was invited as a guest to a workshop hosted by PWC Luxembourg on improving networking skills, presented by Girls in Tech Luxembourg and Know Thy Brand. The event offered a variety of insightful information and networking best practices. The majority of the 60 attendees were female, and they came to hear the panelists discuss essential topics like not trying to sell when you networks, learning as much as possible from others, the importance of being yourself, and how vital it is to smile even if you're shy. Overall, the event was a huge success and provided LuxRelo with a terrific opportunity to further growing its network and influence.
Wednesday
Sandrine and Stéphane attended a presentation on the subject of "hire or inspire" on Wednesday given by Christian Lepsien, the Managing Director of Artevie, and Marco Houwen, the founder of Zentrapreneur. Christian went into more detail on the difficulties in finding IT specialists as well as the value of creating a strong business culture that supports flexible scheduling options and tailoring job postings to draw in and keep top talent. He stressed how important it is to attract candidates' attention with unique, tailored job advertising that reflect the organization's beliefs and objectives.
Marco emphasized the need of building a proper corporate culture that inspires and motivates staff members at all levels as he continued the conversation. He advised attendees to search within the organization for talent and concentrate on coordinating their personal and professional objectives. He underlined that CEOs must be accountable for establishing the company's culture and must inspire and motivate the entire organization in order to drive their staff. Instead of depending exclusively on conventional benefits like foosball or yoga rooms, Marco underlined the importance of developing a people-centric approach that encourages employee satisfaction and retention.
Friday
Stéphane, travelled to Geneva on Friday for a meeting with Eric Szilassy from Convergo and Maxime Boisnard from MRS Management. The industry of international relocation and its anticipated state in 2023 were the main topics of debate. The gathering served as a useful forum for Stéphane to learn about the market, comprehend current trends, and build beneficial networks with other industry experts.
The impact of the pandemic, the increase of remote work, and the rising demand for individualized and flexible relocation services were just a few of the topics covered in-depth during the discussion of various industry trends.
