Last week, 33 delegates from 25 member firms, across 11 countries, came together in Rotterdam for a truly energising and forward-looking MGI Central Circle Meeting. This wasn’t just another conference — it was a fresh take on how we connect, learn, and build ideas together.

MGI Europe Regional Director, Zoltan Paksy explains:

"We reimagined the traditional meeting format with an emphasis on interaction, inspiration, and innovation. Rather than presentations, we focused on conversations — creating space for small group discussions and one-on-one exchanges that sparked valuable insights around HR and training challenges."

Two exciting new elements made this year’s event even more special:

🔸 A dedicated German-speaking session on Thursday afternoon brought together both native and non-native speakers eager to explore trending training topics in the DACH region. It was fantastic to see so many crossing language boundaries to join the dialogue — thank you for your openness and enthusiasm!

🔸 On Friday, we introduced the World Café method — an engaging, roundtable format that helped us explore the future of the MGI Academy through lively, rotating discussions. The energy and creativity in the room were truly inspiring.
