ABOUT ABSL GALA AWARDS
Reflecting on 2023, it is clear that ABSL members have demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability in the face of new challenges: from geopolitical turmoil, global economic headwinds, to the latest legislative fiscal changes, new Generative AI tools, shifts in organizational culture and people practices. Despite the ever-evolving landscape, we have witnessed a continued growth in our industry, whether through securing new clients, expanding services for existing ones, or navigating the complexities of our field to add value. The hybrid work environment, alongside the geopolitical and economic shifts, determined innovation and flexibility, traits that have become a hallmark of our community. Amidst all these, ABSL offered a collaborative platform of shared learning and exchange of best practices, thereby fortifying our industry’s ability to thrive and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
In order to honour our members that have played a pivotal role in maintaining the success of our industry and positioning Romania as one of the most attractive markets, we are proud to announce the 9th edition of the ABSL AWARDS GALA.
We invite our member companies to showcase their most innovative, impactful, and valuable projects and initiatives by participating in our competition. Thus, you not only gain recognition but also contribute to shaping the future of our industry. Let’s continue to be together the voice of progress and excellence.
The outstanding projects will be applauded and awarded during the ABSL Gala, that will take place on June 13, at The Tent by Clubul Diplomatic, Bucharest.
ABSL Awards Gala inspires the business services community to continuously strive for excellence and by this, to strengthen the sector’s position within the Romanian economy.
