Young Professionals: Lost - and Found - in Translation

333 West Wacker Drive Suite 1100, Chicago, IL 60606Chicago, IL

About This Event

Whether it’s presenting in English or navigating European and American work cultures, join fellow young professionals for an evening of tips and real-life stories.

Our four speakers have built their careers across the Atlantic, in Chicago and in Europe. They will share practical advice on presenting and speaking with confidence in English, and on how expectations around communication, networking, feedback, and collaboration differ between Europe and the U.S. Expect candid stories about what worked, what got lost in translation, and what they would do differently, followed by time for your questions and for networking.

Who should join: Young professionals from across Europe and the U.S., whether you are new to the American workplace or already working with international colleagues.

Meet our speakers fron Forvis Mazars:

  • Jeremy Rice, Managing Director
  • Jack Klage, Audit Director
  • Samantha Betz, Audit Manager
  • Marine Bouvyer, Audit Manager, Assurance

A warm thank you to the co-chairs of the Young Professionals Club, Emilie Bourrel (Aquatools), Marine Bouvyer (Forvis Mazars) , and Thibault Vieilledent (Taft), and for making this event happen. Special thanks to Forvis Mazars for hosting the evening.
