Congresses and scientific meetings with multiplicative effects and long-term promotion
The organisation of scientific conferences has become more significant than ever during the pandemic both from an economic and scientific standpoint. Slovenian scientists that were proclaimed as Slovenian Congress Ambassadors in November 2020, have emphasised the multiplicative and long term effects of international events for the host country.
Their wish is to be able to host and attend international congress and events in person as soon as possible. In their opinion, the effects of digital events cannot be compared to those of live events. The Slovenian Convention Bureau and its members are of great help when organising international events with their rich experience and connections.
