00:07:05
it on remembers a colleagues because friends today
00:07:11
oh i wanted to share with you who i am while i'm so passionate about baker
00:07:17
and we're actually because feature in the user had the first i'd like
00:07:23
to share with you a quote for mature called william plot
00:07:28
english clergyman almost two hundred years ago he said this
00:07:35
without change there is no innovation creativity or incentive for improvements
00:07:41
those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage to change that is inevitable
00:07:51
and today it could face is inevitable change it is already go
00:07:56
we are recruiting for new c. e. o.'s you are about to select any presidents
00:08:02
so we come to the right leadership is to use it 'cause strings to drive that
00:08:08
innovation creativity an incentive for improvements and that is what i am going to deliver
00:08:16
but who are i i'm an englishman with the global out look at an international family
00:08:22
heritage my grandmother was born in germany she murder well shouldn't in nineteen thirty four
00:08:30
oh that's a german lived in england throughout will to
00:08:36
having experienced firsthand that traumatic conflict she always
00:08:40
instilled in me the importance of travel
00:08:44
discovering other cultures and learning new languages you are we can't watch reckon
00:08:54
we should put both mostly
00:08:59
so why am i so passionate about it could it could it change my life personally and professionally
00:09:06
through my work excel in london with the owners at nick not far away from here
00:09:11
inevitably i have seen about like a can make a huge difference to business
00:09:17
is to x. l. from an actual business to an international one deliberate huge return on our investment
00:09:25
but first the congress within two thousand of folding excel two thousand six i joined the u. k.
00:09:31
and ireland chapter committee i was off to become its share in two thousand and right
00:09:38
then in twenty twelve adjourn people becoming vice president twenty seven saying
00:09:45
along this journey what traction for it to the bigger family simply grown and grown and grown
00:09:54
i met my wife claire at the it to congress in shanghai she's we would need to that
00:10:00
and i'm proud to say we don't have to do what was a the beatrix for
00:10:06
this reason i can truly say that i understand the meaning of the family
00:10:18
okay so where do i see it 'cause future taken a as a turnover of a five and a half million euros
00:10:26
and as members we should have high expectations but our money is
00:10:30
being used effectively so we all benefit from it 'cause services
00:10:35
so i want to see real improvements to grow we could
00:10:38
survive but to six seven eight million euros maybe more
00:10:44
and how we innovate i believe because needs to provide services
00:10:49
designed to meet the needs of each region we serve
00:10:53
one size fits all approach will no longer allowed like uh to grow its membership and global influence
00:11:00
what is right for beijing may not be white rights for when it's there is
00:11:06
what's right for the guys we're into by may not be right for the old dallas doubling
00:11:13
and the more i presidency by providing each global office
00:11:17
the resources to tactics services create new regional events
00:11:22
because we'll deliver it haunts benefits to all its chapters and all of its members
00:11:29
the creativity i want to crawl on that silence of the younger future leaders about association
00:11:36
i would seek to craig sake shadow hold of young become members who would
00:11:41
be tossed with bringing fresh ideas to because strategy and in particular
00:11:47
to the content of a a new congress which most p.
00:11:50
p. kind of excellence but every member spiced with ten
00:11:55
and finally how do we improve the growth about business
00:12:02
our industry delivers billions to the global economy but bring people together to make things happen
00:12:09
the industry we lead changes the world for the better it changes people's lives
00:12:15
i believe the governments need to recognise that celebrate that and support that
00:12:23
as your president i will get troops advocate for a business
00:12:27
a champion for a sector uninsured because voice is but like government
00:12:33
in a language they understand that is why with your permission
00:12:38
we will echo the words would employ a lot and through
00:12:42
change we innovate creates and bring true improvements our association
00:12:49
with the support of mine close my wife and family become members from around the world i promise to
00:12:57
dedicate more time and energy because it would be an owner and privilege to serve you like

tonight the remaining scholarship when my former boss gave me a copy of the printer database
00:14:34
and asked me to do some research and to identify confirm it depends on potential bits
00:14:42
i still remember that moment saying to myself what in the heck is the vocalisation spending
00:14:47
time and money on treating about the base of association meetings where shall i start
00:14:54
this is where the journey began having turned fifty easier i've realised that i had the
00:15:00
privilege person to work in an industry for which i feel are great passion
00:15:07
the very first line that's independent giving was they are the same the inhuman people in two thousand of three
00:15:12
but it was not until two seven o. six not i've finally
00:15:16
attended my first speaker progress and general assembly in roles
00:15:21
and i can tell you it was love at first sight above
00:15:25
example is that have not nice a single congress sees them
00:15:31
in d. c. inherent professor no six hundred yet or my boss was elected president of yep cool
00:15:37
and as he was doing both he's the overall i raise my hand as
00:15:42
say to him if we want to get something out of the car

we have to we can achieve and i am ready so i was
00:15:53
elected chair of a bit in chapter in two thousand o. seven
00:15:57
and things to these but we will experience i had that feeling that that could contribute
00:16:02
more to the cat so i decided to run for the replica
00:16:06
purpose but before you wrote inference in two thousand or nine
00:16:11

00:16:30
firstly as represented before europe for away but might same escorted of the meetings management sector
00:16:37
furthermore i feel privileged to have being elected by the last
00:16:42

00:16:45
enough for a simpler tortillas to self as first vice
00:16:49

00:17:56
driving force in the creation of new events in more regions
00:18:01
a preliminary analyses made by my team of the
00:18:04
cabin database shows that more than three thousand

00:18:12
america two thousand five hundred se pacific
00:18:16
five thousand in africa middle east i'm close to three something europe maybe potentially the below
00:18:22

00:29:51
presidential final to him that was not the case
00:29:56
it as an organisation has brian at the last genius
00:30:01
which significantly more members as though i just off
00:30:05
compliment with offices located in five different countries
00:30:10
and we would like to thank and acknowledge the leadership of martin said 'cause that because c. e. o.
00:30:16
over the last sixteen years in comp should be using towards
00:30:20
this price and a solid foundation of our association
00:30:26
martin's can that's men's to travel around the world to
00:30:29
meet with members splitting the good vision and mission
00:30:33

00:30:37
away in many respects for this we thank him
00:30:42
that as our association has we're in constant change
00:30:46
and disruption as far as the technological revolution
00:30:50
combined with political and environmental instability it's forced
00:30:55
passes the boards to ask the question
00:30:59
way well we'd be in the next saying yeah it's a it's
00:31:03
vision and mission that we have for they can still appropriate
00:31:09
to this question on so from the example what was that was on doing x.
00:31:16
i haven't see or the right place into
00:31:19
activation implement the association vision and objectives
00:31:23
to this the entire cable would unanimously voted no he was not
00:31:30
at this junction we is the board well all
00:31:33
elected by you the man is representing you
00:31:38
and acting in your best interest had to just sighed as
00:31:43
to the base plate for wait for it can
00:31:48
this is not a decision that happened overnight it's made by any one individual
00:31:55
but rather than ask i'm us several concerns that
00:31:59
the ball would had over an extended period
00:32:03
this skills say true i did the c. e. o. thought organisation
00:32:07
of this size necessitates as strong understanding of financial management
00:32:12
controls and reporting to it be in place always for
00:32:17
us to continue on growth and from live
00:32:21
we need leadership that can implemented operational structure that is supported by proper
00:32:26
checks and balances while maintaining the ache of families down and thus
00:32:32
our business model and approach has to be reevaluated full featured wise
00:32:40
in considering the termination the c. e. o. contract a couple would stick legal counsel
00:32:47
regarding this matter change that that the dutch label no was
00:32:51
folded and the decision would not be made in haste
00:32:57
that understanding was that all board members had to
00:33:01
have the opportunity to review all relevant documentation
00:33:06
information and be an down to ask questions to ensure
00:33:11
that they as individuals would be well placed
00:33:15
to make a decision that would base represent the
00:33:18
constituents that pays a if you um members
00:33:23
this c. e. o. contract stipulated that it had to give twelve months notice
00:33:28
and in addition would be liable for another twelve months severance pay and a dash label
00:33:35
and made twenty eighteen at the board meeting in
00:33:38
frankfurt the board voted unanimous unanimous scene
00:33:42
but the bayes decision for future of eight can would
00:33:46
be on to consider an a different leadership approach
00:33:51
considerable thought was put into the off that and timing of this approach
00:33:56
with the intention that they would be a translation and then handed the period
00:34:03
oh well made plans that's unfortunately did not come to pass
00:34:10
in accordance with actually a bundle and the employment agreements in place
00:34:15
we agreed not company and there's an amicable manner as possible at
00:34:20
the options would have been far to damaging for again
00:34:25
based on that ass come up the discussion of the c. uh in the board offered
00:34:29
the position as engines see uh go to our chief value office and dana speeds
00:34:36
we owe our gratis seated in us for being brave enough at such short notice
00:34:41
and the most difficult time frame and circumstances to have agreed to stay in
00:34:48
dennis thank you and well done thus far off we were supposed to
00:35:00
i
00:35:02
but also at the we big thank you to the entire could team with a professional approach to
00:35:08
this difficult decision and ensuring that our association is
00:35:13
kept on always doing this change in leadership
00:35:18
with regards to the financial implications of this termination
00:35:22
the x. e. r. is mentally remuneration will be paid until the end of august twenty nine c.
00:35:29
is remuneration is they've all covered within both the twenty eighteen and
00:35:33
twenty nineteen pay well calculation that you have copies off
00:35:38
in september twenty nine c. b. will be liable to pay a lump sum severance pay contribution
00:35:45
and the provision has been made and it will also be a liability in the twenty eighteen balance sheets
00:35:52
in line with industry norms and standards it is day
00:35:56
for being decided that future should see those
00:35:59
should not be employed on a permanent basis but rather on the term contracts that is renewable
00:36:06
future third the to the initial communications saying to members
00:36:10
on the pro season procedure to be followed
00:36:14
with the appointment of the new c. e. o. or an independent staffing agency has been appointed
00:36:21
applications can be set message until the fifteenth january twenty nine c.
00:36:27
after which old listing will comments evaluation and interviews
00:36:32
and it's anticipated that the commencement date for the new c.
00:36:35
of for a yeah we'll be in april twenty nineteen
00:36:40
and that they are we have cancer and that to me is that a couple would have
00:36:43
had to deal with is the mass of them basements into the new c. r. m.
00:36:48
it was and is most definitely something that was needed as
00:36:53
the because systems that become outdated and come to some
00:36:57
based on the information available to us it was understood
00:37:01
that due diligence and competitive pricing was applied
00:37:05
in line with members expectations often will value and
00:37:09
benefits and that that healthy financial was uh
00:37:12
making it says decision to in based on this project was approved by the example what
00:37:19
x. unfortunately this considerable in basements as falls uh or
00:37:24
increased way about what was originally agreed and has had
00:37:29
an impact on our bottom line as the as
00:37:32
to contain and keep control the financial matters the
00:37:35
twenty eighteen badgered was contained as far possible
00:37:39
not simply going in new or additional c. uh immediately
00:37:43
has also a lot some flexibility for my finances
00:37:48
in addition to it has also allowed us to get a basic
00:37:52
understanding of the structure improvements and skills states needed going forward
00:37:59
with the combination of the twenty nineteen bit budget
00:38:03
extreme caution was exercise and a conservative approach
00:38:09
it is the boards approach that for the next two years we
00:38:12
will have to question expenditure and create new revenue streams
00:38:16
to balance our finances and once again grow um as a as
00:38:21
considering the financial posterity nation is greater conservation goals i had to be given to the
00:38:26
opportunity of grain that it can be in those with addition of association membership
00:38:32
i take hated station has been included in the conference program
00:38:36
to an hour for the the main the engagements
00:38:40
feedback and suggestions to be considered a market so concern is not anyhow
00:38:45
this membership dynamic impact on it that culture of family in shaving
00:38:50
but also how would be able to service and financially of
00:38:54
forward this option going forward to meet everyone's expectations
00:39:00
i welcome recommendations as does a couple what suggestions and guidance
00:39:06
and but that's something cannot be it know what we don't want to ignore the association maybe that's it
00:39:12
that you want to wait for which the fountain operates associations with a naked man
00:39:20
as the women it would be remiss of me not said i'm rock disappointed me any have these
00:39:26
or just to be good looking man else running for the press the dean's opposition that's yeah
00:39:31
d. which is not what should be that in
00:39:34
the future we will see mall female candidates
00:39:40
as well as culture really tight there's candidates
00:39:44
let's think themselves full weight for consideration
00:39:55
sadly the reality is that in today's die
00:39:58
that s. world sexual inequality still exists
00:40:03

00:57:29
having run our organisation and you get team successfully for sixteen years

martin had taken you go to the next level and i think we
00:57:37
owe him a big round of applause and a huge thank you
00:57:51
oh
00:57:54
disruption uncertainty search for stability guidance and leadership have
00:57:58
been the buzzwords in the past five now
00:58:02
it sounds a bit like the state of the world we're living in at the moment but you get
00:58:06
team is very professional and with support of the board will be moving forward in in strong position
00:58:13
things can change rapidly one day a scythe behind stage pressing the button to move a presentation to the
00:58:20
next slide and the next day i'm addressing the journalists only more or less in terms you go
00:58:34
when i started a new role was interim seal a member mentioned to me that i have some big shoes to fill
00:58:41
i'm wearing my own shoes and they are different from martin's
00:58:45
they look not necessarily better or more elegant they have a different
00:58:50
style aim of the board is by march twenty nineteen
00:58:54

00:58:58
a different leadership style as we take our association in a new direction
00:59:04

investment in this year um has resulted into solar system ready for growth into the future
00:59:45
members may not immediately be able to notice a big difference but we're convinced that
00:59:50
the changes we've put in motion will enable us to really personalise offerings
00:59:55
not just two different types of members but to start off with different interests
01:00:00
and responsibilities within each member company or organisation
01:00:05
we're still in to provide as much face to face supports as we can of course but there's
01:00:10
a numbers continue to grow the old ways of delivering the service will simply become impossible

01:02:07
as you will see our business partners eventually got
01:02:10
media imax re trevor exhibitions and simple
01:02:14
view again play a vital role in delivering successful events such as this congress
01:02:22
overall we believe which if the bottom line target for the year which is close
01:02:26
to the projected deficits of one thousand one hundred thirty eight thousand euros
01:02:33
for twenty nine team the most important points are as follows
01:02:43
the board is proposing a one point seven percent increase to both
01:02:47
engines a membership fees equal to dutch inflation in twenty eighteen
01:02:52
this policy of increasing fees has been in place for many
01:02:55
years and he's he component of because financial stability
01:03:01
increase raises engines fees by thirty three euros
01:03:06
and membership fees by fifty one euros
01:03:10
to remind you about a policy decision last year one percent of membership fees
01:03:15
each year will be paid by you came to the education fund
01:03:19
to support young professionals education at our student scholarship programs at this congress
01:03:28
in twenty nineteen you guys anticipating extra costs due to the
01:03:32
unanimous decision of the u. k. board to change
01:03:35
leadership and you to the commitments made in twenty eighteen to invest in a new c. r. m. system
01:03:43
with a solid financial reserve of over one million peak aboard is convinced that the
01:03:49
organisation prepared a projected deficit of almost three
01:03:53
hundred and fifty four thousand euros
01:03:57
the twenty nineteen budget show savings on most watched lines but the board assures that
01:04:03
these changes will not have any impact on the delivery of member benefits
01:04:09
ego will continue to invest in building relations with association
01:04:12
executives also at events like the the congress
01:04:17
plans are on the way to improve the knowledge how on our website and we're investing
01:04:22

01:04:50
we only increased to a maximum of about five percent
01:04:55
the projected deficit will be covering mainly from reserves sorry will
01:05:00
be covered me from reserves rather than increasing membership fees
01:05:06
the anticipated level of researchers at the end of twenty nineteen will be
01:05:11
around six hundred thousand euros and with the steady growth of membership
01:05:16
global partnerships and participation of members at u. k. events that you could board
