We’re gradually revealing the Human Capital programme

Meet some of our featured speakers

Keynote speaker

Sanjiv Suri

Karel “Kovy” Kovář will lead an interview with an inspiring leader who has successfully brought his personal philosophy into shaping company culture.

„Happiness is something you must seek within yourself.“

Says the man who, 35 years ago, set out to elevate gastronomy in the Czech Republic and has continued raising the bar ever since. Sanjiv Suri began his journey by operating Café Museum at the National Museum in Prague and now leads a company with several hundred employees working both behind the scenes and on the front line. He is the driving force behind the iconic fine dining establishments of Zátiší Group, the legendary Zátiší Catering, and a successful network of canteens.

The company, whose work is recognized for its creativity and exceptional quality, chose to mark its 35th anniversary by achieving one of the world’s most rigorous certifications in its field: B Corp . This certification reflects high standards in social and environmental impact, transparency, and accountability. But what does this mean in practice for the people who work in Zátiší? And how does Sanjiv Suri succeed in embedding his life philosophy into the company culture and passing it on to employees who, in a demanding operational environment, interact with customers every day? These and many other questions will be explored in a conversation led by Kovy with this inspiring personality.

You can also look forward to more programme highlights, which we’ll be revealing gradually over the coming weeks.
