Celebrating Nina Pušlar’s Remarkable Concert at Arena Stozice! 🎶 Last Saturday, I had the privilege of witnessing Nina Pušlar’s largest concert to date at the iconic Arena Stozice. As someone who has been living in Slovenia, I’ve always been impressed by the diversity and professionalism of local artists. Nina’s ascent to the top is nothing short of inspiring! 🌟 Key Lessons from Nina’s Journey: 1. Authenticity: Nina’s success isn’t just about captivating fans; it extends to her authenticity with customers and business partners. Being true to oneself is an undeniable secret to success. 2. Courage and Risk-Taking: Regardless of seemingly unfavorable conditions, Nina’s courage and willingness to take risks have propelled her to the next level. Remember, sometimes the greatest opportunities lie beyond our comfort zones. 3. Learning from the Best: Nina Pušlar didn’t stop at analyzing the competition; she drew inspiration from the industry’s finest. Rather than mere imitation, she integrated their best practices into her own unique approach. A valuable lesson for all of us! 🚀 Let’s celebrate Nina Pušlar’s achievements and apply these principles to our own endeavors. 🌟 https://lnkd.in/eFpHiYEz #MusicIndustry #BusinessLessons #Inspiration

Switzerland's Sechseläuten Festival commemorates a historical dispute with a lighthearted twist: the iconic Swiss Grape Fight. This playful battle between guilds is a reminder that sometimes a well-aimed grape is the best weapon. Learn more about this fascinating tradition in the latest "U-Can Grow Your Brain" blog post!

⌛ It's incredible that we are about to enter the Year of the Dragon, and many astute customers 👨💻 have already strategized their inventory and production schedules for aluminum profiles to ensure year-end delivery before the Chinese New Year festivities. 🍻 It is important to highlight that the Chinese New Year 🎉 in 2024 will commence on February 9th, and our factory will be closed starting from January 30th.🎯 🌍 ✈ As our esteemed partners who are well-acquainted with conducting business with Chinese factories are aware, the CNY holiday season typically lasts for approximately a month, causing temporary disruptions in the supply chain. Hence, it is of utmost importance to plan ahead and make necessary arrangements to mitigate any potential delays. 🛎 🔥We continue to accept orders as usual, with production expected to be completed by March. #AluminumProfileManufacturer #AluminumExtrusionFactory #ChinaAluminumSupplier #CustomAluminumProfileSupplier #PunchingAluminumProfileFactory #ChineseCNCmachiningFactory

O'zapft is! Last Saturday the Oktoberfest kicked off in Munich! 🍻🚛   The largest folk festival in the world has been held in Munich every year since 1810. The mega event attracts around 6 million visitors from all over the world every year. On the opening weekend alone, 1 million guests attended the Wiesn this year - an impressive number that brings with it enormous logistical challenges!   Here are some impressive figures that illustrate the logistical effort involved: - 7 million litres of beer are served during the Oktoberfest. That's tonnes of drinks that have to be delivered on time. - 14 large festival tents and 21 smaller tents provide space for around 120,000 guests at the same time - the tent materials and equipment have to be delivered weeks in advance. - More than 80 rides and fairground attractions require precise transport and assembly, which begins two months before the festival.   Whether national or international transport, on-time deliveries are the key to success - not just at the Oktoberfest, but in every supply chain.   We wish everyone a happy and safe Oktoberfest! 🎉🍺   #IFBGermany #IFB #Oktoberfest2024 #Wiesn2024 #LogisticSolutions #OktoberfestLogistics #BridgingSupplyChainComplexity

For those who have been connected with my for several years, you may recall the 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 we ran on some interesting topics. One of the challenges we had at the time was to get enough participation to keep the Live Events going... it therefore stalled :-( You would expect people and companies want exposure to present their thinking on how they can help the glass container industry... but getting participation was difficult... maybe a little 'stage fright'? Not sure... 𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐖𝐀𝐘, 𝐈 𝐀𝐌 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐓 𝐔𝐏 𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐒... If you want to see how the events ran before then I will put a few links in the comments below for you to 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐞. There was also a live event I did at the Glassman Exhibition/Conference, putting people on the spot at their very own exhibition stands. I will post that somewhere in the comments later too. That should give you an idea of how things are run. The idea is to get your ideas out to the glass community. 𝑷𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒎𝒆 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒊𝐟 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔.

Next Monday, the 1st of July, is Keti Koti. It is a day of great significance to me, as it is the commemoration and celebration of the end of slavery in Surinam and the former Dutch Antilles. It is a day where I emphasize the necessity to remember the Dutch history, in its totality. I understand the time we live in is one of transition, into creating a complete narrative of our common Dutch heritage, and this comes with uncomfortable conversations and self-reflection for all of us. A couple of years ago, I requested my then employer for a company wide day off on the 1st of July. I was met with a counter-offer: a day of shared learning for all colleagues who were interested. At first I was hesitant, what if no one cared? But I said yes, as I felt we had to start somewhere. We created a day filled program, where colleagues could soak up history, ask questions and attend the Keti Koti festival. The team showed up. This openness and willingness to learn from both sides was heartwarming and made me feel seen - as a human, as opposed to an employee. We all have a responsibility in shaping this heritage, which should not happen behind closed doors. This is a conversation that should be had in every space of our country, irrespective of location or sector. In honour of the 1st of July, I implore you to take the responsibility to educate one another on this topic and create an understanding that our story - how we choose to live and work together - is far from complete. We all actively choose who to remember and who to forget. If my ancestors’ stories are irrelevant to our history, what does that mean for our future? I have compiled some resources in the comments - primarily in Dutch. Please feel free to re-share anything in your Teams, Slack, WhatsApp groups or any other means of professional communications. If you have any resources to add, feel free! Please do attend your local Keti Koti celebrations, and celebrate and commemorate with us. Wishing you a very very switi manspasi dey.✊🏽🇸🇷
