The Polish Chamber of Commerce for Machines and Equipment celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. On this occasion, in Sopot on April 25-26 this year. jubilee celebrations combined with the Ordinary General Meeting of Members of the Chamber were organized. This is a unique opportunity and that is why the General Meeting was exceptionally organized in Sopot. In previous years, it was usually held in Toruń, the city where the Chamber’s headquarters is located.

The first day was an opportunity to celebrate. However, it was preceded by a working afternoon, during which the participants had the opportunity to listen to two lectures. The first one, the topic of which was the synergy of personal branding, artificial intelligence and the role of social media in the context of the agricultural industry, was delivered by Wojtek Kardyś – communication expert, EU Digital Ambassador, academic lecturer and speaker (TEDx), AI enthusiast. The topic was prepared for the agricultural machinery industry, which touched on the importance of building a strong personal brand in the digital era, using the tools of the increasingly popular Artificial Intelligence (which is no longer a fashion, but a trend) to optimize the strategy. Additionally, he raised the issue of feedback culture in the industry, pointing out its impact on the development of a personal brand and interaction with other people.

The second topic presented was a lecture titled: “Changes in the world and their impact on the Polish economy” Dr. Jacek Bartosiak – CEO of Strategy&Future, author of best-selling books on geopolitical changes in the modern world, nominated for the Empik bestseller 2023 for the book “The Best Place in the World”. At the end of this part, an account of the Chamber’s activities in the past year was presented by Leszek Weremczuk, Vice-President of the Management Board – Managing Director of the Chamber.

The evening is the official part, during which companies that have been members of the Chamber from the very beginning, i.e. since 1999, were awarded jubilee statuettes. A film was also presented, which tells the story of the most important events and milestones in the history of the Chamber. The film was even more interesting because it was a documentary and the protagonists were representatives of companies that had been associated with the Chamber for years. The evening was made more attractive by a cabaret performance, and the host of the gala was Kamil Baleja – presenter of Radio Zet.

The second day is the working part devoted to the General Meeting. The most important elements of the meeting were the elections of the House authorities. The meeting was held in accordance with the principles of the new statute, adopted on March 21 this year, which provides for changes in the structure of the Management Board and a new body – the Supervisory Board.
