Some of these can be organized as moderated sessions of questions and answers, as business simulation sessions or workshops for practical exercises. On average 3-4 experts and 1 professional moderator participates at these workshops. Workshop topics are selected as a result of a complex process of identification of the specific needs and challenges regarding the business environment in the geografic region in which the Business Days events will be held. This selection process starts 1-2 months earlier than the official launch of the promotion campaign of the event and is done via interviews, discussions and market research of a representative sample consisting of managers, entrepreneurs and experts of that region. Workshops will be held in the afternoon between 14:30 and 18:10 in two series of 4 or 5 workshops, in parallel with the debate sessions and round tables.

CORPORATE ACCESS PROGRAM, discount policy - due to the fact that the Business Days events are concentrated around inspiration, motivation, development of management and entrepreneurial abilities, it is a great opportunity to include this event into the list of events dedicated to professional development of management and sales teams, especially due to the special emphasis on the exchange of experience and interactivity based on the know-how transfer at these events. If we add the numerous occasions for generating opportunities then we can state that Business Days is a must-have on the list of platforms aimng personal and professional development of management teams in companies. During these four years many companies and corporations took the opportunity to offer corporate access to their people, allowing the managerial and sales teams to combine the personal development with generating valuable and useful leads for the future of their business, all in a pleasant way. So for the companies which intend to delegate a higher number of participants to the Business Days events, the following discounts are applicable:
5% for groups of 2-5 participants 10% for groups of 6-10 participants 15% for groups of 11 or more people.
o
These discounts are calculated automatically by the registration system if the application of the new participants is registered into a single account by adding them. The Business Days customer service stays at the disposal of those interested in support and guidance during the application process.
o
These discounts are applicable cumulatively with the early-bird discount and the discounts offred by the cost reduction code, using the following algorithm: The first discount to apply is the early-bird discount (15%) The next discount applicable is the group discount (5/10/15%) The last discount which applies here is the one offered by the cost reduction code.

STUDENT FACILITIES - Business Days events have a special focus on the younger generations, especially on university and high-school students interested in becoming entrepreneurs or those who are at the start of their carreers as managers. In this direction we are developing a series of partnerships with state and private universities and active students’ organizations in order to identify together the relevant people and to support them with an easier way of access to certain events of the Business Days series. We are confident that Business Days can play an essential role in building bridges between the actual and the futere business leaders. Starting from 2013 one of our major preoccupations that became more and more accentuate is to find active and viable solutions together with the business environment to provide a support to the academic environment in order to reduce the existing gap between the output of the education system and the requirements of the labour market and business environment. In this respect we have elaborated two programs dedicated to university and high-school students: o STUDENT50 – is a universal discount of 50% applicable to all types of passes (excepting VIP tickets which are not accessible to students). This discount is applicable for any university student, high-school student and high-school teacher within the limits of available seats (10% of the total number of seats for each event). o STUDENT100 – is a 100% discount of the BASIC pass, applicable for the students affiliated to the partnering students’ organizations implied in different promotion activities and organization of the Business Days event, on the basis of a collaboration protocol agreement.
START-UP PACKAGES - from the very beginning we have positioned ourselves as an organization and platform for promoting the entrepreneurship in Romania and one of those organizations which assumed to contribute to lay down the foundations of a healty business culture in Romania. Remaining loyal to our mission we wish to provide a strong support to young entreprises at their start. Along the specific promotion packages offered at the location of the event dedicated to new companies we also start some new projects this year: o GROW Project - with the partnership of GROW Association, it has a specific role of building a bridge between top entrepreneurs, managers and experts of different areas with significant experience cumulated on both national and international level, eager to give advices, to become mentors, to form advisory boards, support to facilitate the access to new markets, access to high quality networking inside or beyond the borders, supporting promotion and sales, preparing companies to attract investors or to access some financial funds, including loans from banks, in order to increase their business. o ANGEL project – is developed together with a series of private investors (business angels and private equity) consisting of the identification of proper insvestors and facilitating the meetings with these by using the Business Days networking platform, not just during the events but also before and after.

MULTIPASS ACCESS TICKET – all kind of passes to the events of Business Days are multipass type tickets, excepting VIP tickets which are nominal and permit the access of the entitled persons only to the VIP facilities (VIP lounge, VIP lunch, VIP evaluation services, VIP coaching services, special sessions dedicated to VIP guests and VIP special dinner). Multipass tickets offer the possibility of the participation of more people at the events of Business Days, but not simultaneously. By these means a single investment more employees of a company get the opportunity to attend the Business Days events with the aquisition of a single ticket. This allows an increased time-efficiency in case of a single delegated employee and allows the companies to maximize the impact of their presence over the events by delegating the most competent persons for each specific event, and by these means exploiting at maximum level the opportunities offered by the events. At the time being this type of pass is unique among the Romanian business events.
