The QSP Summit, one of Europe’s largest and most influential management and marketing events, is once again in the spotlight in the vibrant cities of Porto and Matosinhos. With the theme “Rethinking Organizations,” this event promises an unparalleled opportunity for professionals and leaders seeking to stay at the forefront of best practices and business trends, fostering an environment conducive to acquiring knowledge and changing organizational mindsets.

Inspiring Start at Rivoli

The event kicks off at the iconic Rivoli Theatre in Porto, where a special performance by the Porto Music Conservatory will set the tone for the subsequent activities. Highlights include a notable intervention by Domitília dos Santos, followed by a crucial debate on “Change Management,” featuring Ana Trigo Morais, Jorge de Melo, Zoe Graham, and Pedro Sousa Carvalho. This blend of artistic performance and intellectual discussion establishes an inspiring backdrop for the following days.

Enriching Sessions at Exponor

The QSP Summit then moves to Exponor in Matosinhos, expanding its activities across various themed stages, including the Main Stage, Worklabs, Special Sessions, and the new Lab Stage. On the Main Stage, international figures such as Linda Hill (Harvard Business School), Ravin Jesuthasan (Mercer), Scott Morrison (The Boom!), Rohit Bhargava (Non-Obvious Company), Christina Stathopoulos (Dare To Data), Costas Markides (London Business School), and Kindra Hall (communication expert) will share their insights on organizational transformations.

Diverse Approaches in the Worklabs

The Worklabs will offer an interactive environment where experts will explore the theme “Rethinking Organizations” from various market perspectives. Sessions like “How People Change and Influence Organizations to Change” and “The Science of Great Teams” will discuss strategies for cultural and organizational change. Emerging topics such as “How Generative AI is Accelerating Business Digital Transformation” and “Sustainable Strategies for Organizations” will also be in focus, providing valuable insights into digital transformation and sustainability.

Thematic Explorations in the Special Sessions and Lab Stage

The Special Sessions, co-promoted by renowned entities and the QSP Summit, will address relevant issues such as strategic influence in internationalization, reskilling, and technological empowerment for CMOs to face new challenges. The Lab Stage, a new addition this year, will focus on professional and personal development, covering topics like time management, healthy nutrition, mental fitness, and corporate feng shui.

Moments of Connection and Networking

In addition to the robust and diverse content, the QSP Summit will also offer moments of relaxation and networking, such as the Sunset Party in Matosinhos and the Business Strategy Masterclass, led by Costas Markides, preceding the event. The exhibition area will feature over 130 leading brands, providing a platform for valuable connections and unique experiences.

With an expected attendance of over 3,500 participants and the presence of 98 prestigious speakers across seven stages in an area exceeding 27,000 m², the 17th edition of the QSP Summit is established as an unmissable event for those wishing to stay at the forefront of business innovations.
