CXO summit in Dhaka on Dec 11

The CXO Summit 2021 is scheduled to be organised at the Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden on December 11 to enable skills and efficiency enhancements to create chief experience officers.

Officials of corporate organisations will participate in several sessions of the daylong summit, said Najmus Ahmed Albab, executive director of organiser the Valor of Bangladesh, at a press conference at The Daily Star Centre yesterday.

Each discussion at the fourth edition of the summit will feature six corporate leaders as panelists and a moderator.

"The pace at which development is taking place in Bangladesh is not the same as the pace at which corporate leadership is growing," said Albab.

"A vacuum is also being created at the same time. But what are we doing to fill it up? We are bringing the head of the organisation from abroad," he said.

"As a result, a large amount of our foreign currency is moving out of the country. And there is no recognised platform for CEO development in Bangladesh. There is no academy," he said.

That is why this summit is being organised, he said, adding, "We expect homegrown managers, leaders or CEOs to come forward and take charge."

The event is presented by Eastern Bank and powered by Btrac Technologies. The Daily Star is the media partner.
