TESTIMONIALS 2008
From the Organizer
"This year’s EASTLOG was very important for us. The entire project was characterized by a fundamental change in concept from a local forum to a regional logistics and transport congress with several innovative new program blocks and pilot projects. By expanding our scope to address logistics on a regional scale we have really made our offer much more attractive to visitors – and that was the primary goal of EASTLOG 2008. The feedback by participants has been very positive and we think we’ve taken the project to a new level.”
Irena Seibertová, Group Logistics Projects Manager, ATOZ EVENT
From Our Gold Partner
“EASTLOG 2008 has stayed the same, but continues to change at the same time. It’s still a place where professionals can go to get important information, discuss the latest trends on the market and make new contacts – all of which contributes to the development of logistics on the CR. But it’s also moving in new directions, and if you ask me, in the right ones.”
Jan Klesňák, Director of Marketing, BT Česká republika
From A Bronze Partner
"This year’s EASTLOG was a big success. We met so many interesting people – a veritable who’s who of logistics. This year we had our first stand. We really liked the Business Arena and we’re definitely planning a similar presentation for next year’s event.”
Ferdinand Hlobil, Partner, Industrial - Central Europe, Cushman & Wakefield
From A Bronze Partner
If I had to answer the question: Why do you participate in EASTLOG? The answer would be simple: It’s a marketing event. We are a young but dynamic company now in our third year on the logistics market. The EASTLOG Congress is an excellent opportunity to show our peers what we do, and also see what’s going on in our field of business. The Business Mixers are always great. It’s the ideal opportunity to make new business contacts and speak with colleagues who we don’t always have time to see that often.”
Susanna Martirosian, Sales & Marketing Director, BINTA
From A Bronze Partner
EASTLOG’s new image is a great balance between a unified forum for presentations and spontaneous meetings in the Business Arena and a program of thematically focused conferences that can be combined to suit your needs. The new and improved EASTLOG is a breath of fresh air and a step in the right direction. EASTLOG is more accessible and much more spacious.

From the Logistics Business Mixer General Partner
Remember the excellent French wine, great company, wonderful venue and fun games and competitions at this year’s LBM! Who wouldn’t want to participate in the next one?
Pavlína Urbanová, Marketing Executive, Pinnacle Eastern & Central Europe
From the Logistics Business Mixer partner
"As one of the largest dealers of Mercedes-Benz utility and delivery vehicles in the Czech Republic we think participating in this event and meeting with experts in the field is extremely important. Networking with professionals from the logistics sector, the same people we supply transport vehicles to on a daily basis, is invaluable to our company. I am convinced that EASTLOG 2008 was beneficial to everyone who participated."
Klára Kulíšková, Retail Marketing, Mercedes-Benz Česká republika
From Regional Days Poland Speaker
EASTLOG is and excellent idea. The Business Arena really impressed me this year. In 2005 I had a stand in a dead-end corner of the event and I had to literally beg participants to stop by. What an amazing solution. The layout was wide open and totally conducive to making new business contacts.
Rob Hasert, General Manager, Logi-solve
From Conference Speaker
We came to the congress to introduce Romania. I participated in several lectures. I visited the Business Arena and its diverse program of events. I think EASTLOG is a great networking opportunity.
Vladimir Badic, Audit Manager, Unilever Corporate Audit Europe
From a Conference Delegate
I would evaluate the EASTLOG congress from two perspectives. First as a visitor to the Business Arena. The layout this year was so much easier to navigate through, and in my professional opinion, had a much higher caliber of partner participation. As a minor criticism from the perspective of a delegate I would say that although the conference program was diverse and the lectures were led by well known industry players, the expanded program of events running concurrently with conferences influenced the number of delegates participating in the main program.
Milan Thorovský, Director of Logistics, Continental Teves Czech Republic
From a Conference Delegate on the Logistics Center Excursions
“I look forward to visiting logistics centers every year at EASTLOG. It’s an unusual opportunity to see what other companies are doing. Although every warehouse is more or less the same, and the technology is available to everyone, it’s always interesting to discover something new and inspiring. I really appreciated the hospitality of the hosts who gladly spoke openly about their processes and experiences to congress participants.”
Miroslav Gejdoš, Project Manager, C.S. CARGO Slovakia
From the organizer of the Corporate Event
“We were in charge of organizing the seminar portion of the EASTLOG Congress for the first time ever. And we were satisfied with the results. Forty professionals from the fields of logistics, IT and production participated in the event. The discussion on RFID and the case studies really attracted a lot of interest. Participants particularly appreciated the practical nature of the seminars and their focus on actual cases and the results and benefits brought by implementing specific projects in the CR.”
Tomáš Kubíček, Marketing Manager, Barco
From a Logistics HR Forum Participant
I would rate the entire event very positively. I participated this ear for the first time and I thought the event was perfectly organized and very consistent. The morning discussion was very interesting, thanks mainly to the experienced professionalism of the participants. They verbally confirmed what I face everyday as a personnel worker. I hope that some of the contacts I made bring me the benefits they promise.
Ivana Majerová, HR and Marketing Manager, STILL ČR
From a Logistics HR Forum Participant
The Job Fair for students helped us gauge the potential in young talent out there – students that are not only focusing on logistics in their studies, but looking for a career in the field. The contacts I made should lead to greater cooperation on student projects and hopefully projects within our own company in the future.
Kateřina Hubáčková, Marketing, CCV
From a Logistics HR Forum Participant
I give a thumbs-up to this year’s Logistics HR Forum. I was surprised at the increased number of students this year and the quality of the program events. I look forward to next year!
Marie Šimánová, Personnel Specialist, SCHENKER
From a Logistics HR Forum Participant
I really appreciated the selection of discussion forum lectures. They were beneficial as a logistics professional and as a personnel worker.
I walked away from the event with so much information about psycho-diagnostics in the workplace. The entire forum had a pleasant atmosphere which made it easy to talk to other professionals in the field. I also enjoyed the hustle and bustle of students at the information stands.

From a Participant at the Seminar for High School Students
Thanks to this seminar I got a clearer overview of logistics and my future relevance on the labor market.

From a Participant at the Seminar for High School Students
We were really enchanted with the hotel and the cultivated approach of the companies at the event. We think events like this should take place much more often, not just because of the contacts we made, but also for the practice it gives us in holding professional discussions with our peers.
Student, High School of Industry, Břeclav
From a Transport Meeting Partner
“When wading through all the congresses, seminars and trade fairs taking pace in the logistics and freight-forwarding business, you have to prioritize. EASTLOG was selected by our Association because it’s a reliable, well-organized and major event.”
Jan Ekl, COO, Federation of Freight-Forwarding and Logistics CR
From a Transport Meeting Partner
“We were really pleased that the first ever Transport Meeting attracted so much attention. The discussion on Driver Shortages, Czech Legislature and Cost Analyses in Road Transport pulled in more people than space would allow. Although we didn’t resolve any issues at the meeting, we did contribute to their improvement by opening the debate and bringing media attention to them.”
Martin Špryňar, General Secretary, ČESMAD BOHEMIA
From the Program of Events Co-organizer

“The EASTLOG Pass is the ideal tool for breaking with convention. It’s a brilliant ice-breaker. Meeting suppliers, partners and customers has never been so easy.”
