On our conference 29 October, we will dig into it but in this online event we are very happy to provide you with an interesting lecture on the new ways of working and how the role of the assistant will evolve in the near future.
Above that, we are extremely proud to provide you with the scoop of a life changing-document: The Skills Matrix, which was developed by the World Administrators Alliance. Lucy Brazier and Helen Monument will talk you through it in what will be a very interactive session. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to be first to hear how our new normal will look like!
