What participants say What I liked best was the dovetailing of theory and practice. The topics covered in the seminar can be advantageously assimilated into my projects at the coop. It s always interesting to get to know different people working in other sectors and be able to discuss category management with them.

I found both days to be very interesting and engaging, and picked up a number of things I m now going to try out in practice. Chantal Rihm, market research, Vileda GmbH
