INTERVIEWS
In September issue, you can read exclusive interviews with the CEO of Serbian Convention Bureau Igor Kovačević and with Peter Grk, Secretary-General of The Bled Strategic Forum.
VIEWS
In the section views, we entered the era of the Millennials — the 21st century of marketing. Views are all about the experiential marketing and its great masters who shared their opinion on the topic with us. We gathered some of the European top agencies’ answers: Bruce Henderson (Jack Morton Worldwide), Colja Dams (Vok Dams), Kevin Jackson (Live Com), Martin Schnaack (Avantgarde), Göran Göhring (Stagg & Friends), and Barbara Jemison (London & Partners).
The second part of the views is dedicated to three experiential marketing case studies.
BEHIND THE SCENES
In our Behind the Scenes segment, we took a closer look at Monaco’s little brother – Portopiccolo, an amazing host of luxury meetings in the Adriatic.
HOT SPOTS
As you know, scenic roads are not just for fun, leisure travel and stunning views, but also for unique exhibition options and outdoor car launch possibilities! Think about it: wonderful scenery, fresh air, wide open roads leading to freedom – is it not this what cars are all about? From winding mountain roads to glistening city streets – it is all about finding the best locations to show off car’s abilities and looks. We searched for some majestic scenic roads and found them in Venice, Montenegro, Istanbul, Innsbruck, Salzburg, Carinthia, and Slovenian mountain pass – Kranjska Gora!
MEETOLOGUE
For this issue, we present you the Estonian capital Tallinn, the singing and skyping destination with the dynamic congress industry spirit.
MEGA PROJECT
