"As a telecommunication company, Ucom interacts with innovative technologies every day. Today, technological development is an essential part of our lives, and telecommunications is the field that makes technology accessible to everyone. However, environmental sustainability is also vital for us, and through our corporate responsibility projects, we strive to unite these two priorities."- said Ralph Yirikian, General Director of Ucom.

The agenda of the International CMC Conference is tailored to engage management consultants from all sub-specialties, business representatives interested in the field, consulting firms, and various enterprises.

"It is an honor to host such a prestigious event in Armenia — the International CMC Conference. I am confident that our participants will have significant takeaways from the event and will establish new collaborations and opportunities. Such international events promote the development of the country's consulting and business communities and create a valuable platform for exchanging new ideas, fostering cooperation, and forming new partnerships. Our goal is to exchange knowledge and create values that will have long-term significance," emphasized Silva Mesropyan, IMC Armenia Executive Director.
