The 23-year-old youngest-ever speaker Jahkini Bisselink shared her research outcomes about Generation Z. Chris Borneman moderated a discussion about outsourcing with Anuj Sharerdalal and Amit Chopra, Tracey Wickens and Roger Isaacs. Dr Michael Grüne talked about the challenges of the cannabis business launch into the German market. The audience had many questions regarding digitalisation and AI. Hans Peter Lybaek from Redmark to talk about robotics in accounting and Jeremy Hyman about what AI is and how to deal with it.
Time to connect
Social elements were integrated into the programme to help members engage, build networks and share news. Delegates explored the city on a boat and competed in small teams using tablets to get to know Copenhagen city center.
Danish cuisine is world-famous. Delegates enjoyed two fantastic restaurants: one in Nyhavn and one in Tivoli Gardens, and finished the Friday night with a live rock concert!
The amazing weather, excellent choice of venue and conference content made this one of the best European Conferences to date. A massive thank you to Zoltan and his European team on a hugely successful event!

"Tracey Wickens and I recently attended the 2023 MGI Worldwide European Conference in Copenhagen. Denmark is considered one of the safest countries in the world, and its culture described by three aspects of Danish life: simplicity, politeness and equality. “It was a great opportunity to see our international colleagues in such a wonderful and colourful city. Key topics surrounding AI and automation and HR were on the agenda and very relevant in today’s world, not just accountancy. A huge thank you to all involved in making our visit so informative and enjoyable."
