CCFL Events

On October 17th CCFL members and friends attended the event at Hotel Kempinski Vilnius Cathedral Square (which has recently become our member) with Mr. Alexander Hamilton, the Chief of Political and Economic Section at the U.S Embassy. Mr. Hamilton presented the situation of how the United States look like at the eve of U.S. presidential elections and how the outcomes of the elections would eventually influence the business community in the world and in Europe.

After an energizing discussion the staff of Kempinski Hotel received us in one of their spacious halls for a reception, where delicious snacks and French wines were served.

Due to the fact that our events are frequented by a wide range of businesses, participants have opportunities to get acquainted with appropriate business partners and friends. This event was one of the best times to network and exchange business cards.

As a tradition, our business breakfasts are held at Novotel Vilnius Center. This season has been opened by two interesting topics discussed during having real French croissants and coffee (fruits, hams, cheeses and Lithuanian yoghurt are served too). The prospects of Lithuanian Economy has been presented by Mr. Nerijus Mačiulis, the Senior Analyst at Swedbank and the Introduction to Economic Intelligence has been done by Mr. Stephane Chevalier, the Managing Director of OBI Consulting.
