2024 Talent Meeting: a celebration of talent, innovation, and the incredible journey we are all on
Hosted by MGI Europe and MGI UK & Ireland, this year’s Talent Meeting took place in Frankfurt on 7-8 March. The event provided an excellent opportunity for younger people with little experience in MGI, to build their network, learn and engage in professional discussions, and, of course, have fun!
The theme this year was FIND YOUR PATH. The goal was to give an expert view of wellbeing and discuss how to improve communication, build relationships, and look after your body and mind. There was also opportunity to join professional team discussions moderated by experts and learn about MGI.

Rachel Pugh, UK & Ireland Regional Coordinator comments:
“We were really thrilled to have two great keynote speakers this year providing our young talent with some great skills for the future on Wellness and Communication. We had 81 delegates from 25 firms representing 17 countries in Europe and the UK and Ireland so it was a fantastic turn out.
"We were also really lucky to have some influential leaders from firms within MGI sharing knowledge in their specialist fields of Tax, Accounting, Digitalisation, Audit and Marketing aswell as our Shadow IC in our afternoon breakout sessions all contributing to this year’s theme of Finding your path.”
Top keynote speakers
One of the highlights of the meeting was the two keynote speakers.
Marie Paterson, a wellbeing trainer and coach who is passionate about supporting people to develop themselves and to live their calmest, happiest, healthiest life, gave an interactive talk on Positive Paths to Wellbeing.
Shil Shanghavi is a public speaking specialist, storyteller and a globally renowned speaker coach. His presentation and hands-on workshop gave insights into how to control your emotions and speak confidently so you can build relationships, advance your career, feel empowered, and ensure your audience remembers exactly who you are.
“One of [Shil’s] main topics was ‘how to be interesting’ in our professions when it comes to communicating in a workplace/networking setting. I personally found this challenging as I always feel a little bit boring when someone asks me what I do for a living and I say, ‘I’m in auditing’. He came up with some really creative techniques – which we then had to practice with our partners. Some were brave enough to do this facing a full room of delegates.
