FIBEPShares Grab a Bite

FIBEPShares Grab a Bite, 16th of April 2020, 2pm CET

Moderated by Magdalena Horanska, FIBEP Secretary General

Grab a Bite is a new format of online meetings for FIBEP members. The new FIBEP concept has been designed to put all FIBEP community together and enable sharing experience in these uneasy times. The virus decided to put us all into unprecedented situations and prevent us from meeting in person.

The first Grab a Bite event with the theme Organizing Work Remotely was moderated by Magdalena Horanska, FIBEP Secretary General. For most of the attendees the Grab a Bite meant a lunch, however, for Neil Parker from PressReader in Canada it was a very early breakfast. At the online table we met, among others, with Florian Laszlo from Observer (Austria), Jon Anders Tangnes from Opoint (Norway), Simon Dabbs from Newsclip (South Africa), Jasmina Garaj and Valbona Guscic from Presscut (Croatia), Fady El-Murr from pressrelations (Germany), Sophia Karakeva from Datascouting (Greece) or Lucie Geislerova from NEWTON Media (Czech Republic). It was very interesting to hear how FIBEP members around the world have been tackling with the new reality – generally, with the lockdown, impacts on the daily operations, company business and clients’ behavior.

The Grab a Bite events will take place every two weeks. FIBEP is happy to invite all FIBEP members to the next one focused on Operating International Accounts from Home taking place on 6th May 2020 and moderated by Sophia Karakeva.
