Dear readers,

The Summer issue is here and we have dedicated it to the hottest upcoming conference for the Future of MICE and travel marketing, Conventa Crossover.

At the end of August this “out of the box” event will bring to Ljubljana around 30 best experts in MICE marketing and tourism. We have been chatting with them to learn about their dream job, to find out how they developed their talent, to get their advice on how to turn a boring event into a memorable one and to get a sneak preview of what they will talk about at Conventa Crossover…and we are now sharing it all with you, our dear readers.

In this issue I had THE CHANCE to speak about the events that rocked the meetings industry this summer

I’ve asked myself what is The true aftermath of the recent attack in Istanbul? How crisis communication can help in these situations. Read also my viewpoint on why The pen is mightier than the sword. Do only exceptional convention bureaus truly understand the meaning of “public relations”?

Also featuring in the Summer issue:

Hidden Congress Guest visited Hotel Termag in Jahorina, Athenaeum Intercontinental and Hilton Athens in Athens and Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa in Jesolo. We bring you Behind the scenes of Falkensteiner Schloss Hotel Velden, while Off the beaten mice track takes you to Athens, Zitrusgarten, Landskron and Naturhotel Hoterdorf Schönleit.

In focus you can read about Fresh and newly renovated Adriatic Convention hotels, Kongres puts Maribor and Kosice Face2face and presents great content in scope of our regular columns Kongres telescope, Croatia Adendum, Inside Ljubljana and Conventa with a Part 1 reportage of Conventa Balkan Road Trip.

The issue also includes an Insider’s guide to Villach and delivers Quick talks with tourism professionals from the destination. We haven’t forgotten about the Meetologues. Next to the List of Top National, Regional and Tourist destinations you are also able to find a new Meetologue dedicated to Mostar.

Enjoy the read and we hope to exchange some thoughts with you at Conventa Crossover Conference!

Kind regards,
