Dear IBCS Fan,

One year ago, the IBCS Institute arrived in Poland. Since then, new events brought energy, ideas, and valuable connections. Discover the highlights, recent certifications, and upcoming training opportunities – including summer dates.

Warm regards,

Your IBCS Team

IBCS Annual Conference 2025

The IBCS Annual Conference 2025 in Warsaw was another inspiring and memorable gathering of the IBCS certified professional community from different countries and continents. A huge thanks go to all our speakers, moderators, and sponsors, who made this event possible.

Our Platinum and Golden sponsors inspired us with their news:
+ Zebra BI presented their bold vision for the future, including a first look at Zebra AI, which brings unlimited automation to IBCS reporting
+ SAP representatives showed us how IBCS can be applied within SAP Analytics Cloud,
+ HICO, presented TRUECHART+, the next generation of IBCS tables offers powerful pivoting capabilities for deeper data insights, expanding beyond reporting to empower planning.

Executive Innovation Lab | Saving time, driving innovation

For the first time we hosted an exclusive event for C-level executives from various leading companies, Executive Innovation Lab, creating a unique environment to network and gain valuable knowledge.

This event was not only an excellent opportunity to deepen knowledge on visual consistency and innovation but also a perfect occasion for meaningful networking with industry peers, creating valuable connections before the conference.

IBCS in action | Young Generation

IBCS Institute promotes all initiatives about shaping the future and helping young professionals succeed in their career development through the knowledge of IBCS.

In March, we organized the IBCS for Young Generation experiment, where we explored how to teach the new generation about IBCS rules. Seven ambitious students from Ukraine, Vietnam, Belarus, Azerbaijan, and Indonesia discovered fundamental IBCS skills that would set them apart.

This topic was continued at the IBCS Annual Conference during IBCS Talent Bridge workshop. Participants colaborated on a framework between the IBCS Institute, universities and IBCS Certified Providers – three sites supporting writing thesis on IBCS.

The project is still in progress, with more to come soon.

IBCS Certified Consultant course in Warsaw

The 37^th consultant certification took place in Warsaw, just ahead of the IBCS Annual Coference.

This year, we had a pleasure of training six new candidates in Warsaw, coming from Poland, Germany and North Macedonia. It was a unique opportunity for participants to combine learning with valuable networking and knowledge sharing with the certified IBCS community.
