 Konferencie Symposium 2010 som sa zúčastnila, aby som získala inšpiráciu od osobností z podnikateľského prostredia. V budúcnosti by som mala rada vlastnú spoločnosť, preto ma zaujímalo, ako zrealizovať svoje nápady. Na konferencii ma najviac zaujal spôsob tvorenia biznis plánu a tiež zhodnocovanie jednotlivých myšlienok- ako vybrať ten správny nápad? Je moja myšlienka pripravená na realizáciu? Prostredníctvom konferencie som získala prehľad ako si ju krátko a rýchlo zhodnotiť jednotlivými otázkami. Počas konferencie som stretla veľké množstvo ľudí, ktorí už majú alebo v budúcnosti plánujú mať svoj vlastný biznis. Ešte nikdy som nezažila takú vysokú koncentráciu kreatívnych a ambicióznych mladých ľudí.

 Na Symposium som sa rozhodol prihlásiť, pretože sa zaujímam o biznis prostredie a chcem začať podnikať - takže sa v tomto smere snažím vzdelávať. Klasicky najzaujímavejšie bývajú inšpiratívne príbehy - takže Mišo Meško sa zaradil do zoznamu mojich vzorov :) Tiež myšlienky p. Syneka boli veľmi zaujímavé. Dôležité je ale hlavne prepojenie týchto teoretických poznatkov s praxou, a v tomto vynikla posledná prednáška p. Ortha, ktorého projekt pre start-upy ponúka naozaj zaujímavé možnosti pre mladých potenciálnych podnikateľov. Konferencia bola dobre zorganizovaná, splnila svoj účel, takže pre každého, kto ma záujem vzdelávať sa v oblasti podnikania, má účasť na takejto akcii zmysel.

 Hugo Benedikt

Na konferenciu som sa prihlásil, lebo ma baví podnikanie a som prirodzene zvedavý a chcel som vidieť, čo sa tam bude diať. Páčila sa mi práca v tímoch, taktiež tam boli veľmi zaujímaví hostia, obzvlášť druhý deň konferencie. Symposium by som odporučil tým, ktorí majú záujem stretávať sa s ľuďmi, ktorí v živote niečo dosiahli, ako napr. podnikatelia a manažéri. Ak sa chcú dozvedieť o niečom, čo ich môže inšpirovať, potom je Symposium tá správna voľba.
