WELCOME TO GSSM 2023
Invitation
Dear colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to invite you to the GSSM 2023 which will take place from 6-8 November 2023 in the premises of the Grand Luxor Hotel in Spain. With this event we will create a new format, where top management and top sales people from 27 nations from all over the world gather together to learn from each other.
After this event you should be informed about the development and the targets of the Kistler Group within the next years. You should feel secure and confident about your future role, function and responsibility. We all should have the same understanding of our strategy in order to move together towards our future Ki1000.
During this week we will focus on our new products which can be seen as well on our products exhibition. Our experts will open new doors for you in intensive trainings and workshops. We will learn what actions we need to take to be more pro-active. This event serves as well as a networking platform.
The ingredients of the Kistler success consists of your commitment and your contributions. Let’s get together to boost our energy and drive as ONE Kistler.
I look very much forward to meeting you in November 2023 in Spain and wish you safe travels.
Nos vemos en novembre 2023 en España.
Winterthur, 30 May 2023

Experience the event
With this event, we are aiming to touch the hearts of the participants and offer a sustainable and unique event experience. We want to offer our event participants the best event experience. We want to engage all relevant participants from now on and motivate them to continue our Ki1000 journey with passion, drive and the so called Kistler spirit. After the event all participants should understand our Ki1000 strategy and know the direction of our Ki1000-journey. This website serves organizational purposes for the time being. With this we demonstrate that we are focusing on personal communication.
We plan to communicate the topics along our communication roadmap aligned with the content of our program and of course along the strategic intent from EXPLORE THE FUTURE to FULL BLOSSOMING. The tool to touch emotions should be of course "personal video messages from YOU". We are very excited to include the special surprise highlights step by step and keep the content exciting with various inputs from YOU.
The goal is to make this a memorable event. We look very much forward to creating together an outstanding and superb GSSM 2023. So, let's connect our Ki1000 crew and be stronger as ONE Kistler.
Our updates and information are sent from the cockpit. So let's start with the first message 😊.
Event communication
Video messages
We would like to use event communication (video messages) as part of corporate communication. The website needs to be brought to life and needs to be continuously updated with content to create anticipation for the journey and the event. From EXPLORE THE FUTURE TO FULL BLOSSOMING. In the spirit of ONE Kistler. Stay connected. Anytime. Anywhere.
We want to get the participants in the mood right from the start and convince them to the end. Successful event communication begins long before the event itself. The participant should be positively surprised with the first point of contact, the invitation.
Goal: Creation of Kistler Spirit and ONE Kistler
- Away from lots of text to well-placed videos. What matters is the message.
- Beekeeper: App that invites and connects to the exchange among the guests. Alternative way of communication from formal to informal, fast, direct and easy. Beekeeper will be used during GSSM event. Chat function in real time.
- Photos of participants: Who is who from where. Also, present speakers.
- Attention / impression / video competition: With the website and the short clips, we enable our speakers and participants of the GSSM 2023 to have their say. Video Contest Call (submit creative messages): We allow our entrants to be screened before, during or after GSSM 2023.
- Implementation of such videos can be arbitrarily complex à keep it simple and record yourselff
- xxx Award
- We make it exciting: Creativity. We make it a fun, informative and rewarding experience. Keep videos short.
- Creating a personal connection with the viewer through visually and emotionally engaging content is made much easier when presented in video format.
In order for the common thread to be taken into account, the content should be planned accordingly by the various speakers in a roadmap. Who says what and when and how? Please check the roadmap here. Maybe you can already think about great ideas for your content along the program :-)
We are able to send personalized video messages at the same time. That means you only address your group with your relevant content. E.g. Sdm sends his video only to his group. At the same time Gor sends his video to region West, Rab sends his video to China. People responsible for their workshop can introduce their topic and ask people to select their WS on WED. Head of BUs are also welcome to provide a glimpse of their show. No matter, who .... OE, BU, country, region, PF ... everyone can post a video to keep this journey alive. We should schedule according to the roadmap along the entire program.
We want to offer our TN a real registration experience

Location
Organization
The success of the GSSM 2023 depends very much on the the cooperation and communication between the three groups involved:
- Project GSSM 2023 team
- Internal Kistler organization
- Hotel & external suppliers
Project GSSM 2023 team
Kistler internal organization
We use a event-tool which requires to define clear groups with the relevant responsible persons from the outset. For organizational purposes, all attendees will be allocated to one of the 30 groups. This enables us to personalize communication. Please check the overview of all responsible people here. If names are missing or corrections are needed, kindly ask you to contact maria.tran@kistler.com.
- Who is in charge for the OE/PF over all? (RESPONSIBLE)
- Who is responsible or support for the OE / BU/WS on Tue/Wed? (ONSITE RESP.)
- Who follows-up re administrative tasks? (SUPPORTER)
Program
The various topics will be worked out along our planning process. The layout of the program should look the same for all groups. Therefore, a template for creating the program will be made available until 26 May 2023. We have set the frame of the program and would like to mention some general points and guidelines first.
PROGRAM TEMP

to amend
Travel/Arrival Day
- In general, all guests arrive on SUN, 05.11.23 around 1730. People should not show up during rehearsal.
- People on stage will be in Benidorm around 1400. The rehearsal takes place from 1430-1800
continue
§ Start and end: All meetings start from 0800/0830 AM and should end at 1830 latest.
§ Food and beverage:
- Breakfast starts from 0630 AM.
- You have one coffee break in the morning (coffee AM) and one in the afternoon (coffee PM). Time and duration can be set individually (between 15-30 min.) Each meeting venue has a dedicated space for coffee breaks. Please make sure that the breaks are used to clear the head and the room 😊.
- Lunch can start between 1200 – 1300. Duration: 1 hr. It will be advantageous if the groups have lunch at different times. This shortens the queue at the buffets.
- All dinners are together (300 pax). Please note that all nights will be closed at 2300 to be ready for the next day. The gala will take place until 0100.
§ Meeting rooms:
- The hotel offers 16 meeting rooms in three different venues (Convention Center, hotel and building opposite of the hotel). We will allocate the rooms based on the size of your group and your requests.
- New products, devices: Would you like to show and introduce new demos during the session on TUE PM? Then please inform Maria to assign a bigger room with the relevant technical requests. Please contact Angie re organization of transport.
- Standard table set-up: classroom. If you wish another setup, please inform Maria.
- Not all meeting rooms are equipped with standard A/V. You will receive with the program template a form to fill in your technical requests (projector, sound, flipchart, screen for virtual meeting, etc.)
§ Participants:
- The hotel offers 300 rooms. Therefore, please nominate your participants with care. Please select and nominate your attendees with care. All approved participants will receive on 30 May 2023 an invitation with a link to register. Please see the criteria in the participant section.
- Please note that you will be able to hold virtual meetings for your own session. Kindly ask you to inform Maria to set up IT requests and assigning the proper room. The guests for the virtual meetings will be invited separately on a later step. Therefore, please do not nominate virtual guests for now.
§ Communication roadmap: We have set-up a roadmap to inform/update participants on a regular basis by video messages. You have the option to address your group with your personal video message. Please consider that the content of the video messages should be aligned with your program/topics. The common thread must be filled with the appropriate content right from the start along the communication roadmap and the program. See further information under section “event communication.
§ EXHIBITION: We want to show and present our new products at our exhibition. The Marketing team needs to make sure to be aligned with the OEs/BUs to show new products which are relevant for the program.
- Please consider in your program a slot of 1.5 hr. The duration for non-tech people is 1 hr. The organization (when, who, where) will be organized by the Marketing team (Angie).
Meeting rooms and group allocations
The hotel offers 16 meeting rooms. Due to the many different groups and various break-out sessions we need to know how many rooms will be needed. The rooms/venues will be allocated to the relevant groups based on the number of your participants. Would you like to show your audience some demos, new products? If yes, please inform maria.tran@kistler.com, because this will require more space. All relevant Kistler products will be delivered from Germany to Benidorm by an exhibition stand builder. If you want to show products, please contact angelica.zeolla@kistler.com so that she can take care of the transport.
We should not have more than 16 sessions in parallel. Most of the big rooms cannot be closed with walls or doors. That means the rooms are divided by putting e.g. a mobile flip chart in between. That means you will hear each other talking which could be disturbing. Therefore, we should not go over 16 rooms and plan accordingly. The meeting rooms will be allocated based on your requests. Please click here to see the overview for a better understanding.
MON, 06.11.23: 1 meeting room needed
TUE, 07.11.23:
- OE1, COUNTRY, REGION, TEC, CORP. COMM, ICT, CORP. will be allocated to one of the sessions of OE 2-4.
- PF P&L, SERV, FICO and HR have all day their own session.
- OEs will split in the afternoon into BUs. @ OEs: Please confirm the proposed number of meeting rooms. If you will need more rooms, please inform us in the link to fill in. We will do our best to find a proper solution.
WED, 08.11.23
- Attendees of OE/BU will have the option to choose one of the WS of their interest.
- The topics (e.g. C4C) with responsible people will be decided during the EC May and June. The concept of the WS selection will be presented in the EC meeting May/June.
- We recommend to offer max. 5 WS due to the limited meeting rooms.
To which group will I belong to?
Meeting rooms and group allocation
The hotel offers in total 16 meeting rooms. As we have different number of break-out sessions, we need to plan how many rooms will be needed or can be used.
