GDS-Forum
The 2023 GDS-Forum is a must-attend for future-proof destinations, as we convene to transform tourism and events from the inside. We will be transforming mindsets, empowering sustainable leadership, fostering collaboration, and igniting innovation. In the spirit of deliberative democracy, we will gather global destination leaders and sustainability champions, discuss sustainability and impact strategies and best practices, learn from GDS-Index journeys, and co-create new approaches and initiatives for greater regenerative destination management.
CityDNA Autumn Conference
The CityDNA Autumn Conference’s 3 days are not to be missed, as it joins in a collaborative DIY towards Destination Positive. It will be stacking Lookout Towers for new inspiration and supercharged thinking and explore how best to Build the Foundation of a truly Destination Positive future. In the spirit of CityDNA’s community of sharing and learning, it will prioritise progress over perfection in sharing WIP – Wegeneration in Progress and join forces in designated Destination Maker Labs in serious play for positive impact.
