The Autumn issue of Kongres Magazine presents co-creation of events through exclusive interviews and endless tips and tricks!
We learn the most if we do some things ourselves. If we want to achieve this, we can learn a lot from the field of didactics and moderatorial and experiential leaning. Prior to this, we need to explore and know attendees’ needs.
The new, 71st edition of Kongres Magazine, brings alongside Autumn colours exclusive interviews with masters of event organisation, overview of venues and ideas, as well as many tips and tricks for actively co-shaping events with attendees.
