28th GC Leadership Symposium 2023
We were delighted that you joined us again this year at our 28th GC Leadership Symposium entitled "Future Makers" and helped make it what it is – a very special industry gathering.
Date: 3- 5 May 2023
Location: Hohenkammer Castle near Munich
Determined, powerful and visionary companies gave exciting presentations on how they are shaping the future in their organisations.
As creative hecklers, the actors of the Galli Theatre staged the decisive leadership values with ease and liveliness: fun, courage, passion, meaning and solidarity. The evening ended on a musical note with the performance of a crazy comedy by the artist group Eros & Ramazotti.
The GC Leadership Symposium provides information and inspiration for this.

Comments
"Dear Mr Jeschke, I would like to thank you once again for the excellent symposium, which the GC organised in an outstanding manner. It was an informative and inspiring event. I was impressed by the breadth and quality of the presentations, in which the speakers presented exciting topics in convincing contributions and also provided an insight behind the scenes. I was able to take away many ideas and insights that will certainly influence my work at the university. The organisation and execution of the event were also excellent: it is really well organised when it not only runs smoothly, but also appears easy and effortless – your team succeeded in this perfectly! It was a pleasure to participate in this event. Many thanks to you and your team."
"I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you once again on the event, which was really well organised and very well attended. An all-round successful event. Best regards."
"It was another thoroughly successful symposium with a great programme, speakers and, as always, perfect organisation. I look forward to seeing you all again at the next symposium at the latest. Best regards."
"On behalf of Mr S., I would like to say a big thank you once again for your selection and the platform you gave us. Your symposium was once again a well-rounded and informative event. We felt very comfortable. Thank you also for the invitation!"
"Thank you for the excellent organisation. I found the presentations by the next generation particularly exciting. They look at the current situation with different eyes. "We often heard, 'Of course it costs money, but...' I'm curious to see how this will affect the future. These issues will increase costs, so at some point the products will too. What does the market say about this? I really enjoyed the entertainment after dinner. It was really well done and very harmonious. Peter made a very good choice. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to the next edition."
