BestCities ‘Share and Gain’ Breakfast at Morels

Morels

“A little less conversation a little more action please!”

Join us for Breakfast!  We are delighted that Guy Bigwood from the Global Destination Sustainability Index will join our breakfast to facilitate some round table conversations that we hope will catalyze more action to make our organisations more sustainable. Together our industry can collaborate to deliver more sustainable and impactful meetings around the world. You can download the latest white paper from the GDS Index here.

We would be delighted if you could join us for a relaxed breakfast ahead of a busy day at IMEX on Wednesday 11 September at Morels French Steakhouse & Bistro. It will be a wonderful opportunity to connect with the BestCities partner convention bureaux and the other International Associations in attendance. Also you will hear more about our Global Forum. We can then take a short walk to the exhibition hall.

Celebrating the Positive Impact of Business Events

Join Jane Cunningham and Tracy Bury at this session at the Hot Topic Tables, Inspiration Hub, Level 2, on Wednesday 11 September between 11:00 – 11:45:

No longer do we just look at the economic impact of meetings – we want to understand the societal impact and the change created by that gathering taking place in a destination. Discuss what associations are doing; what measurement tools are out there and how cities help you connect with the community.
