The last edition brought to Ljubljana the highest number of international meetings planners and meeting providers in the history of the show with a reason. It offered a different, new, friendlier and more personalized experience than most of the B2B shows.
Also in 2016, Conventa will continue to pamper its hosted buyers and give them the opportunity to meet with around 140 meeting providers from New Europe to get to know new destinations, explore new possibilities of cooperation and experience true hospitality.
The carefully prepared hosted buyer programme will cover transfer and accommodation, personal itinerary of appointments and fam trips to great meetings destinations. Once more Conventa will be the hub of networking, social matchmaking and education.
Since its beginnings the show has hosted 1.716 hosted buyers from 45 countries. Almost 90 percent of hosted buyers that attended Conventa 2015 said their par¬ticipation absolutely met their expectations. Find out also what they have said about their experience:
“We had a great few days in Ljubljana both on the fam trip and during the networking events and convent itself. It was great to finally see Ljubljana in person and meet all of you. The service was great and we have left with a great impression of the city and the facilities. We look forward to bringing more events to Ljubljana in the future.”

“Definitely I fell in love with the destination and I hope to see you soon with a site inspection with a group and more after that! Like the meaning of name of the city…IN LOVE… everyone including me fell in love.
For sure SLOVENIA is going to be one of the best new destinations in Europe. Its brand is more and more acknowledged each day.”

“Many thanks for your invitation to attend the Conventa and the care you took of me and my international colleagues in business. Being at the Conventa did contribute in substantial extent to my understanding Slovenia and Ljubljana capacities in terms of congress events. Now I am pretty well informed on the opportunities as well as limits of your capital to acquire international meetings.
In addition, thanks to my coming to the Conventa, I have all contacts for relevant persons to consult as well as discuss in detail potential projects. I can see your enthusiasm and strong efforts to enhance the position of Ljubljana and Slovenia in tourism and congress industry.“
