Tomorrow and Saturday the 1st ever Expat Oulu Conference is taking place at Lasaretti hotel and conference hall near the city center. The event is the sort of "grande finale" as part of Oulu City's Expat Family Adjustment project, which has been in progress for a couple of years now. An enormous amount of work has gone into the conference, and over the 2-day schedule various topics will be covered:
-the national limits of global know-how
-images and realities of foreign professionals in Finnish working and living environments
-how to attract skilled workers to the area
-challenges of cross-cultural management
-networking
-dealing with culture shock
There will also be an exhibition area for conference guests to get to know local business, clubs, and associations.
Hope to see you there!
