Im Juni 2009 traf sich der Club 55 zu seiner jährlichen Konferenz auf Palma de Mallorca (Spanien) unter dem Motto: “Gestalte Deine Zukunft!” Den Kongress haben, neben den Top-Referenten aus dem Club, auch sehr namhafte Gäste begleitet. Ehrengäste waren in diesem Jahr unter anderem Dr. Pero Micic (Buchpreisträger) und Prof. Senator e.h. Klaus Fischer, Fischer Werke www.fischerwerke.de . Kurt Schär, CEO Biketec AG and Prof. Dr. Andrea Back from the University of St. Gallen were also welcomed as guests.

CLUB 55 was founded in 1959 by leading experts in marketing and sales. The European community of experts, based in Geneva (Switzerland), promotes the constant exchange of experience and the European integration of its members, primarily trainers and consultants. The continuous exchange of knowledge and experience in the network on the topics of marketing, sales, communication, training and management consulting forms the core of the community.

According to the statutes, a maximum of 55 women and men can be expert members - hence the name CLUB 55. The appointment is made on the recommendation of two sponsors by the board, a direct application is not possible. The members of CLUB 55 have been committed to their own annual, compulsory qualification since 1959 and to their own quality charter since 1990.

For clients throughout Europe, the international network of this community is synonymous with a high level of partnership competence from different disciplines and cultures and in several languages.
Last year, Arno Fischbacher had already been invited to participate as a guest speaker at the anniversary congress of Club 55 in Lugano. After the excellent evaluation of the club's 55 members, Arno Fischbacher was appointed to the club as a specialist by the board this year.
