Welcome to Kick Off

2015! Application booklet

Dear applicant,

It is my great pleasure to open faci applications for a conference that has a very special place in my heart. Kick Off was my first international faci experience that developed my skills beyond expected and enriched my life with wonderful and inspiring people.

I believe that each of you would be a valuable asset for this conference, and being a Conference manager for Kick Off was a dream come true, and in this dream I want to work with motivated, experienced, funny and dedicated facis ever.

Klara,

Conference manager, Kick Off 2015
