By Jan Oosterlinck
Partner BDO Belgium

Many directors of family controlled enterprises are entering the retirement age and are considering how the next phase of their family business could look like. Nevertheless, the operational focus of the day-to-day management has as a consequence that essential preparatory steps are not taken or even considered.

In this workshop we highlight the frequently observed pitfalls in a family transition, the emotional aspects of having difficulty to pass the torch and the observed fear that the next generation is not ready to take full responsibility.

On the other hand, the next generation is not always well prepared. The succession period is not well defined and the route of transition is unclear. The mental pressure to step into the shoes of father, mother, uncle … is high.

We will shed some light on the process and the dynamics in such a transition process and we illustrate this with life case experiences and observations in the field.

A well prepared succession is key to guarantee a smooth transition and secures that families ties are not broken and that family moments are still enjoyable … which is unfortunately not always the case …

To flirt or not to flirt, in business and bars, is a training that is both useful for social and for business purposes. It’s about making contact with people and being interesting for people. By accomplishing that you can in the end “close the deal” that you are going for. In this fun, energised and entertaining seminar we explore the art of (business) flirting.

You will be amazed how many different flirting techniques there are and how you can easily recognize if someone is interested in you. Also we look at the flirting signals you send out. Flirting is not only making contact, it is also about staying in contact. In this workshop we show you that you can be that interesting person you always wanted to be.

Flirting is also a business technique! After all, business deals are not only granted for the best price but also because they want you to get the order. In this training you will learn that the flirting techniques, coming into touch and coming into tune can be used just as easily in a social context as in business, so you can actually close the deal you always wanted to make!

A Nebbiolo Workshop.

Gianluca, as you might expect, has Italian roots. And having lived, and worked, in Barolo, Piedmont, he’s always had a little preference for the grape kind Nebbiolo.

In his workshop, Gianluca will be revealing you everything you’d ever want to know about Nebbiolo.How to blind recognise Nebbiolo? What are its characteristics? Why does it have such a pale colour? What is the difference between a Langhe Nebbiolo and Barolo? Or a Valtellina and Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo for that matter? What are the implications of global warming on this grape? And, important as well, what are the trends? And the producers to look out for?

All this, and way more, brought to you by Gianluca, one of Belgium’s best. In his own professional yet playful and enthusiastic style. Not to miss!

How does waste water become purified? That is what we can learn on a guided tour on one of our sewage treatment plants (WWTPs). Aquafin manages a total of more than 320 WWTPs, spread across Flanders.

During the visit we follow the path of the water. We start at the place where the collected wastewater arrives at the installation and then follow the different steps of the purification process. First we look at the mechanical purification, where coarse dirt (likes leaves, pieces of plastic, branches, …) is removed from the water. Then we concentrate on the heart of a treatment plant: the biological treatment. We explain how bacteria are actually responsible for a natural purification process. At the end of that process, we can see how the water is purified and discharged into the local watercourse after a final quality check.

Wondering how it feels like to fly in a small plane over the Flemish ‘polders’ and coast?

EC Bruges, in cooperation with JCI Oostende Middenkust and Noordzee vliegclub, are providing you an opportunity to fly over the Belgian Coast and the centre of Bruges during the EC2022.

What can you expect:

An amazing flight of approximately 40 minutes (engine run-time) from Ostend – over the coastline – via Zeebrugge – over Brugge- back to Ostend-Bruges Airport. It’s an unique opportunity to see the Belgian coast and Bruges from another perspective.

While waiting you will be guest at the clubhouse where you can have a drink and learn more about aviation in general.

Practical:

In order to keep prices affordable, we aim on filling each plane to the maximum capacity. This requires 3 persons per flight. When participating, you take part in the group activity, meaning you will fly, but will have to wait for the other passengers to depart or arrive.

If you would like to fly together with another attendee, please let us know. We will do our best to make it happen.

We need from you:

1. Your full name
2. Your passport number
3. Your weight (crucial for the pilot, so the plane doesn’t exceed its max load)

All data will be handled with the needed discretion

Timing:

Thursday & Friday - 17h till 21h

Price:

The flights are offered to you for a fixed price.

This fee includes:

• transfer from Bruges to Ostend and back

Important notice:

We would also like to inform you that flights in pleasure crafts are subject to weather conditions.
