In a relaxed atmosphere after a hard day’s work, collaborations often emerge that change businesses and careers. Conversations that start completely spontaneously can open the door to exciting business projects, inspiration or new friendships. Because in business, as in life, it’s all about the people you know.

At the attractive location of the Marun restaurant in Zagreb, another successful IBMC – International Business Meetup Club party was held this week on 10th of February, which, thanks to the organizer Josip Novosel aka Dear Leader Joe, brought together high profile business people from all around the world.
Dear Leader Joe is Croatian entrepreneur, business developer, marketing expert, who 6 years ago launched the IBMC business networking community that completely changed the business scene in Croatia, but also in the European Union. In addition to directors and managers of the largest Croatian companies and banks, his events are often attended by famous football players, basketball players, actors, singers, ambassadors, politicians, sometimes people from Formula 1, the Premier League, NetJets… multimillionaires and even billionaires… People often fly to Croatia just for his parties, which is why he decided to expand his business to Asia and the Middle East. After this summer he will start with IBMC parties in Dubai.

Josip Novosel is also a famous influencer, piano and saxophone player. On his Instagram profile Dear Leader Joe, he has 130 thousand followers, and on Facebook his humorous posts have millions of views every month. He is also a professional photographer and owner of the Flash.hr portal. Probably one of the best and most hilarious columnists in Europe. He was inspired by Anthony Bourdain and Top Gear and now he lives this dream life. He travels all over the world, promoting hotels, restaurants, wineries, luxury cars, yachts, watches, suits, shoes…True luxury promoter. Josip often says jokingly that sometimes he feels like he is on a paid vacation and that his motto is: Better a hedonist than a communist 🙂

It’s hard for most of the people to understand that one person can have so many interests, but Dear Leader Joe tells everyone how it’s all connected and that one thing leads to another. He believes that work can and should be fun, and he tries to provide that fun to everyone around him, not only in the relaxed atmosphere of the IBMC business networking parties that he organizes almost every month in Zagreb, but also through his work in the digital and offline world.

IBMC – International Business Meetup Club is definitely No1 business networking event in Croatia and this part of Europe and if you want to meet the right people in business but also have fun, this is the place to be.
