The ICDL Europe autumn CEO forum took place last week in beautiful Prague, Czechia with representatives from more than 15 countries across Europe in attendance.
The day long event heard from ICDL Europe General Manager Linda Keane, CEO Damien O'Sullivan, and ICDL Czechia President Olga Štěpánková who detailed a number of initiatives her team has undertaken in the past year.
Meetings such as this are vital to strengthening the sense of community and collaboration across the ICDL Foundation and provide a great opportunity to engage in strategic discussion on how ICDL can best serve our candidates and deliver digital literacy on a grand scale.
A huge thank you to those who could make the trip and of course to Vienna House for their brilliant hospitality. We're looking forward to continuing to strengthen our bonds of friendship and collaboration into 2024 and beyond.
