Project 100 Concludes with Record 130 Live Business Events Across Europe in Five Weeks

Record-setting initiative revives human connection and leadership development in the age of AI
Project 100 officially concluded today, marking an extraordinary milestone, 130 live business and leadership events across eight European countries in just five weeks. The record-breaking scale and execution of this initiative have attracted international attention, positioning it among the largest coordinated business tours undertaken in recent years.
Launched on September 15, the initiative set out to “bring business back to its roots” by restoring face-to-face learning and community building to an industry increasingly shaped by automation and virtual meetings. What began as a goal of 100 events became a Europe-wide movement that united more than 8,000 participants and demonstrated that while technology accelerates growth, genuine leadership still begins in real-world connection.

More than 30 international leaders, each ranked Diamond or higher, coordinated the tour, including Giorgio Trabaldo, Andrea Traina, Mauro Boccomino, Matteo Bianco, Dario Centini, Gianluca Bardella, Dylan Dagani and Stefano Frontino. Together they hosted events in Italy, Greece, the United Kingdom, Bulgaria, Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, marking one of the most extensive leadership training tours seen in the sector.

“There’s something leaders in this industry often forget: it’s the leaders who set the pace for the team,

János Sztruhár: 35 Years of Building Success Through Long-Term Vision

“What Drives Me Isn’t Someone Else’s Dream – It’s My Own Direction.”
Today, János Sztruhár stands among East-Europe’s most respected network marketing professionals. Back in the early 1990s, when entrepreneurship was still taking shape in Slovakia, he already saw promise in an industry no one really understood that time. At just the age of twenty-four, he followed his instinct and his vision into a brand-new world of business. More than thirty-five years later, as a Zinzino President, he now mentors others with the same mindset that once guided his first step: “What if it’s true – for me too?”
Courage, Not Recklessness
Until the 1990s, Slovakia offered only one career path: decades of loyal employment followed by retirement. The political transformation changed everything—suddenly, people could start their own businesses. And with that freedom came the first wave of risky pyramid schemes. Many saw excitement in them, but few truly understood what they were. János Sztruhár thought differently. When legitimate, well-established direct selling companies began entering the market, he decided to give it a try—for one simple reason that kept echoing in his mind: “What if it’s true—for me too?”

“At my very first presentation, I stuttered so much I couldn’t even introduce my sponsor.
