The 8th member of the EU CVB Network
With a focus on collaboration, seven convention bureaus representing Florence, Gothenburg, Ljubljana, Lyon, Rotterdam, Salzburg and Valencia joined forces in 2020, to create the EU CVB Network. Porto CVB has now joined them.
Jan Orsic, Head of Ljubljana Convention Bureau, explains the decision to welcome Porto in the EU CVB Network: “Porto ticks all the boxes, is perfect for us because geographically it fits, in terms of values it fits and when we look at events that go to Porto, a lot of them we share among us. It is a great addition. We are very conservative with expanding the Network because all the members have to be active. We bring our knowledge together and when we meet it makes us much better, much stronger, much more interesting for clients.”

Porto CVB officially joined EU CVB Network on 24th May, during IMEX Frankfurt, in a session that took place at the Visit Portugal booth.
About EU CVB Network
The goal of this convention bureau network that from now on includes Florence, Gothenburg, Ljubljana, Lyon, Porto, Rotterdam, Salzburg and Valencia is to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices, from which both destinations and clients can benefit. It’s a model of competition, the members still compete with each other for many association meetings, but they believe that they can be stronger, more effective, and add more value for clients if they work together. This also means joining forces in promotional activities and marketing.
