Slovenia once again proved its presence on the global business meetings scene last week with its participation in the <\/em>C&IT Festival of Forums<\/a>, which took place from 29-31 July 2024 in Bristol and Bath and attracted more than 50 buyers from across the UK.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a renowned business event of the C&IT media house, which brings together various experts and innovators from the global meetings and events industry every year. For the third time in a row<\/strong>, Slovenia was presented at the event as a destination with high potential for various events, meetings and incentive travel. In addition to the rich networking opportunities<\/strong>, this year a special focus was placed on the quality educational programme<\/strong> which was top-notch. The event offered an exceptional selection of speakers<\/strong> whose expertise and wealth of experience provided valuable insights and inspiration to participants. Graham MacVoy<\/strong>, co-founder and CEO of Wake The Tiger<\/strong>, shared his more than 20 years of experience in running successful businesses and large-scale events with his inspiring lecture “WAKE THE TIGER: HARNESSING CREATIVITY TO BUILD IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES”. Ellen Mutimer<\/strong> from Inntel<\/strong> presented “GREEN HORIZONS: OVERCOMING CHALLENGES TO CREATE SUCCESSFUL ESG EVENTS”. Ellen is a renowned ESG expert and has received numerous awards for her achievements in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia was presented at the event under the auspices of the Slovenian Convention Bureau<\/strong> and with the financial support of the Slovenian Tourist Board<\/strong> as a destination with high potential for various business and professional events and incentive trips. A representative of the Slovenian Convention Bureau held more than 20 meetings with invited corporate and agency buyers from the UK and representatives of associations <\/strong>that recognise Slovenia as an attractive destination for their future events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invited clients had the opportunity to learn about business opportunities for organising events, meetings and motivational experiences in different Slovenian regions<\/strong>, their natural beauty and sustainable offer. Slovenia attracted a lot of attention with its green destinations<\/strong> and sustainable practices<\/strong>, which further strengthened its reputation as a great destination for business meetings. The combination of beautiful nature, rich cultural heritage and commitment to sustainable development created a strong impression on participants<\/strong>, who praised Slovenia as a unique and attractive location for their future events. This includes a wide range of options, from trade fair, conference and congress venues in the heart of nature to world-class hotels and unique incentive travel locations, making Slovenia an extremely attractive destination for various types of business and professional meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK market remains a key market for Slovenia<\/strong> due to its high spending power and excellent air links between Ljubljana and London. The increased interest in Slovenia as a business destination is a pleasing sign, especially after the challenges of the pandemic and Brexit. This year Slovenia is also presenting itself at other important promotional events such as IMEX Frankfurt<\/a>, IBTM World<\/a> and IMEX America<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
