Good evening everybody,
I am right now sitting in the LATAM lounge at Guarulhos International Airport in São Paulo, waiting for my flight departure tonight to Frankfurt, Germany. I really love to spent several hours relaxing, means working, at the airports before long distance flights. No hurry, no stress, just beeing with myself, reading, writing, listening to music…
As I mentionned during my last post in this blog, I have a certain backlog of rich content for sharing with You. Today I will relate to You about my participation in the wonderful 1st Horasis Global Meeting South America during 24 – 27 October 2024 in beautiful Vitória, Espirito Santo, Brazil.
But let me at first explain to You, how it came to my participation in this spectacular event, until then I didn`t even know about Horasis (horasis.org), when early in September my great friend Fabiana Monteiro (https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabianagphrsbrasil/), founder,owner and publisher of the prestigious Editora Global Partners (Editora Global Partners: Posts | LinkedIn) called me. Fabiana asked me if I wanted to substitute her as panel speaker in Vitória because due to an important private commitment she unfortunately would no be able to participate there.
I looked Horasis up in the internet and it came immediately clear to me, that this would be a fantastic opportunity for me, to get to know personally soon with many interesting people from allover the world on ocasion of a highly exciting event with an excellent agenda of contents.
Fabiana was happy about my acceptation and passed my contact further to Dr. Frank-Jürgen Richter (https://www.linkedin.com/in/frrichter/), the Founder and Chair of Horasis, the independent, international think tank headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland.
During my short online conference with Frank we discovered that we have both studied at the KIT – Karlsruhe Institute of Technology https://www.kit.edu/english/) and he happily confirmed my participation as panel speaker.
Instead of giving – necessarily lengthy – detailed explications about this incredible event and encounters with numerous new high ranking global friends, I will make it easier for all of us and let some of my beautiful pictures speak:
