The 3rd Annual BMDA Conference “A Celebration of Variety: Building on Differences”  took place on 5—6th of May 2005 in Tallinn, Estonia. This Annual Conference gathered altogether 96 participants from 17 countries and, based on the opinion of participants, was a great success.

A diversified selection of speakers from business, academic and public sector institutions of the Baltic States and other European countries shared their latest knowledge and experiences on matters that help us to build effective business relationships in the Global arena. The Conference workshops offered many opportunities to get involved proactively, which in turn created a conference where much of the content is provided by the participants. The unique and novel World Café learning method was used during this conference. World Café conversations offered a practical yet creative way to get to know each other early on in the Conference and to increase the capacity for thinking together, sharing knowledge and ideas. The topics covered helped participants to understand better and accept the cultural differences, which have essential implications for business thinking and international management practices.

The conference was attended by the representatives of all main International associations of management development such us CEEMAN, EFMD, AACSB, ASFOR, FORUM.

During Gala dinner which took place in “The Black Head House”, the beautiful and the only preserved 14th century Renaissance building in the Old city of Tallinn, participants had the perfect chance to experience Estonian hospitality and dishes and to have some relaxing conversations and dances. Dr. Virginijus Kundrotas, the President of BMDA, expressed the joint sincere gratitude of all Conference participants for the perfect host of the event – Estonian Business School.
