Prague/Zurich, October 2, 2023 — The Negotiation Club, the world's most famous negotiating club, will take place on Thursday and Friday this week in Zurich. This year's focus will be on risk management in trade negotiations, developing strategies for its active management and influencing tactics. This year's Swiss conference is headed for the first time by a Czech delegation of dozens of professional negotiators, headed by President of the Association of Negotiators Radim Parik.

This year's keynote speakers include Camille Vasquez, a publicly known attorney (e.g. in Johnny Depp's defamation case) who comments on legal battles on American NBC television; legendary FBI negotiator Chris Voss, author of the bestseller Never Compromise, with whom Radim Parík is writing the latest book; and Beth Fisher-Yoshida, a professional lecturer and mediator of the world's leading organizations from the private and public spheres of, president and director of Fisher Yoshida International. The conference will be presented by its main organizer Matthias Schranner, director and founder of The Schranner Negotiation Institute. A prominent guest will be George Kohlrieser, another of the world's bargaining icons.

This year, the traditional conference is a harbinger of a subsequent important meeting of the leaders of negotiations in the Czech Republic, the “Key of Communication” conference. It will take place in October at Prague Castle under the direction of the Association of Negotiators.

President of the Association Radim Parík is the only Czech member of the prestigious Negotiation Club international conference in Switzerland regularly, this year for the first time with other Czech negotiators and CEO of the Association of Negotiators Adam Dolejš, for whom the unique experience of Zurich will be the opening event of the aforementioned C-level conference.

Together they will bring to Prague the latest knowledge and topics that move the world of negotiations. In addition, they will personally meet Chris Voss, who in July this year invited Radim Parik to co-author his new book on using tactical empathy to uncover hidden information.

Radim Parasik commented on his trip to Zurich: “I am glad that Czech professional negotiators have finally received an invitation to the most prestigious event in the industry. This “Czech footprint” will certainly not fall into place at the Zurich conference and will become a great impetus for the participants themselves as well as for others interested in the art of negotiation. This year's call for proactive negotiation or managed risk management will be a boost for Czech managers and will help Czech businessmen and leaders in their domestic and foreign expansion. “
