Ljubljana to host ICCA Venue International Business Workshop

Ljubljana is set to host the conference between 8 - 10 April 2021

Jan 1, 2021

In April, Ljubljana will host the ICCA Venue International Business Workshop. The workshop will take place in Cankarjev dom. A minimum of 10 and a maximum of 15 international association congress decision-makers/influencers will exchange detailed background information on their meeting with 10-15 ICCA venue members in return for the excellent feedback on the services the ICCA venue members can provide. This information is shared via a series of one-on-one meetings.

ICCA Sector ‘Venues’ organises two Business workshops annually. At present one for International conferences with between 800-3000 delegates and one for European conferences with between 500-2500 delegates. These guidelines deal with the Venue Business Workshop for International meetings which are meetings that rotate worldwide.

Workshop objectives

The primary objective of the workshops is to provide a cost-effective opportunity for ICCA Venue members to meet and do business with key decision-makers for European and International and conferences, meetings and similar events. A secondary objective is to introduce association executives to ICCA and to explain the benefits of working with ICCA members.

Testimony from last year’s edition
“The 2019 edition of this workshop was the 4th Workshop I have attended. The format of this workshop continues to be one of the superior ones in terms of engaging with the various Association Executives. Over the years, I have witnessed the preparedness both from the venues and Association Executives continues to elevate. Both sides of the equation understand the investments in time out of the office, financial expense and travel that is necessary for the success of the Workshop. Our relationships have now evolved so much as meeting these executives at the ICCA Workshop and subsequent events where I have the opportunity to meet them again allows for deeper and meaningful conversations. I highly recommend this workshop,” said Rahul Shah, Senior Sales Manager, International at Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
