Welcome to the NBF Studio Rauma 2024!

This year the main theme is Courageous Leadership under which the subtopics are customer experience, talent development and strategy.

This year the first day, Wednesday September 25th, will take place at Merimäki campus and day two, Thursday September 26th, will take place in Rauma Hall. As in previous years, the event is a pop-in event, meaning you can come and go as you please, this way you can plan which keynotes you or your students might benefit from. Both days offer free refreshments from Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas for all participants.

Last year we broke a record of 400 participants, over the course of both days, this is the highest participation rate recorded in NBF studio Rauma’s history, we hope to make an encore of such a good turnout! As always, if you are a teaching staff member you may consider whether any of the topics of the keynote speakers could be useful for your course, students, and teaching material.

See you in september!

Sincerely, 
NBF Studio Rauma Lead
