What a fantastic day at Baltic Payment Forum, great energy, bright minds, insights and conversations with the lovely people I had a chance to meet. Here are some personal highlights;

Ukrainian central bank standing against the war using power banking strategies.
Polish unicorns revolutionising the payments industry.
Digital wallet trials across Europe to replace paper identification.
Climate friendly payment incentives.
And once again great job Karolina Aleksandrova and the team.
Alexander Movchan
President ACFE Baltic chapter
Participated as a speaker in a number of professional international conferences in the field of Internal Audit and Control, organized under the leadership of Karolina. The conferences always covered relevant topics, the agenda was well structured and well communicated in advance, and the technical support team was responsive and easy to deal with.
I have a very good impression of the conferences organized by Caroline, and I am happy to recommend her as a passionate and highly qualified specialist with extensive experience in organizing international conferences of any complexity at a highly professional level.
