The goal of the GO-GETTERS event was to give young professionals a unique insight into their own talents and to learn the true story of companies. Congress Bureau Friesland conceived the format for this special day and was also responsible for its execution.

Directors and HR staff from 21 companies started the day with breakfast, followed by an introduction to 150 young professionals.

The plenary program kicked off with Theater as a Mirror. This was followed by a wide selection of sessions in the inspiration carousel. Sessions such as “Never Apply Again? Build the Brand ‘Me’,” “Your Creative Brain is Your Weapon,” “Pitch to Remember,” “Show What You Stand For,” and “Efficient Collaboration? Here’s How You Do It with a Serious Game!” were well-attended and highly valued by the participants.

The post-lunch program was uniquely designed: 90 young professionals and HR staff participated in an escape game to discover each other's competencies in a special setting. During the debriefing on the game, participants reflected on their actions.

All parts of the program contributed to the goal: discovering oneself and meeting companies that could help take the next step in one’s career.

The day was a great success. Following the GO-GETTERS event, several young professionals had interviews with participating companies and multiple contracts were signed.
