What Busines Days does

Business Days (legally BD Business Events S.R.L.) is a Romania-based business networking and content platform founded in 2012, operating primarily in Bucharest/Ștefăneștii de Jos with a parallel non-profit arm, ADMECA, established in 2016. The company organizes 2-4 national business conferences annually across major Romanian cities (Cluj, Timișoara, Iași), supplemented by webinars, masterclasses, and three intensive bootcamps (Leadership, The Next ME, BD Sales). Over 14 years it has built a community of 450,000+ entrepreneurs, managers, investors and professionals, a 1.6 million+ contact database segmented into 36 categories, and a content library delivered through BDTV (YouTube), a multi-category blog, and 30+ research studies on the Romanian business environment.

The operating model spans three revenue streams: transactional event tickets (Conference Pass 160 RON, through VIP Supreme at 1,750 RON); annual Strategic Networking subscriptions in three tiers (€1,000 / €2,000 / €3,000 + VAT) bundling CEO/GM matchmaking, platform visibility to the full community, market research and VIP access across all four annual events; and a modular BD professional services portfolio covering BD CONTENT, BD EVENTS, BD DEVELOPMENT, BD CONSULTING, BD COMMUNICATION, and BD OPPORTUNITY. Distribution combines self-serve online ticketing via Kartra, direct enterprise sales, and a multi-tier partner/sponsor ecosystem (Gold, Silver, Bronze plus Experience, Travel, Mobility, Media Partners). Operational control sits with Laszlo Pacso (President/Programs Coordinator) and Codruța Nicolescu-Pacso (Executive Director and Operational Coordinator), supported by a Content Marketing Manager and a small team in the 11-50 employee band.

The platform's underlying technology is a conventional stack combining a Kartra-hosted commerce and content delivery layer, HubSpot for registration capture, ePayment and ING Bank for payment processing, Google Analytics and Adobe Analytics for measurement, YouTube (BDTV) for video, and Dropbox for asset hosting. No proprietary software platform, patents, public API, or in-house AI/ML capability is disclosed; AI references in the input are editorial, discussing AI operationalization rather than evidencing deployed products. The company claims over €600 million in cumulative economic impact across 14 years of operation, 250+ offline and online events, and 45,000-56,250 cumulative participants with 3,100+ speakers.
