Bizbarcelona and the Employment Fair will be held on November 9 and 10 together at Fira de Barcelona, with a focus on helping people develop new business, professional, and job opportunities. The two events, which this year are intensifying their synergies with over a hundred activities, guidance services, training workshops, conferences, and talks, return together with the goal of boosting talent and revitalizing local economies. This year’s program features more than 120 conferences and activities. Compared to previous editions, the number of workshops has increased: more than 40 will be offered on topics such as open innovation, digitalization, leadership, communication, and marketing. Advisory services will also take center stage with a large area featuring experts where visitors can receive advice and resolve doubts about business creation and management, financing, business reactivation, internationalization, among many other topics related to entrepreneurship or SMEs, as well as specific career and professional guidance for anyone considering new employment opportunities. Additionally, promoting entities and the Bizcommunity will also provide personalized attention at their stands.
