Welcome to the 7th of our LagunCara Business Lunches where we bring together local and international professionals, to meet each other and explore win-win synergies. The objective of these sessions is to help the members get things done through trust-based relationships.

Keynote speech this month (10-15 min): “The end of the European Dream? Open questions about the EU crisis "

Speaker: Andoni Hidalgo, Managing Director Gaia Trade Factory

Timing: We will meet at 14:25 and start eating at 14:45. The speech and introductions can be done while we are having starters, this is all within the restaurant.

Format change: Starters standing to help people move around the room better. This will help networking.

Menu: Closed executive lunch with Crianza wine (22 euro). We will have our own dining room which facilitates speeches and introductions.

To keep up to date on any and all changes to do with this and future events please join the Linkedin group.

Please bring your business cards.

See you on the 5th!

FAQs

Do I have to speak English?

No. English is the default language but feel free to speak in whatever language you feel most comfortable. There are also non-locals who like to practice their Basque!

Do I have to introduce myself?

Yes, but you can do this in the language you feel most comfortable in. After the Keynote speech, everybody should give a brief, 30-second introduction, just explaining who you are, why you are at the event and anything you feel relevant. If you have any proposals to make or anything tangible you would like to share this is a great time to do it as you have everyone’s attention but be as brief as possible,

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

The venue is in the center of Bilbao so transport options are numerous. There is NO hotel parking. If you are coming from Donosti please us the Linkedin Group to try establish a carpool system.

Yes, please do but remember that trust is a key factor so invite people that you genuinely trust.

Dress code?
