Convention International I MICE News und Trends aus der MICE – Branche
The end of August is once again reserved for Conventa Crossover, the central event for experiential marketing and event management professionals. It will take place in Cankarjev dom from August 28th until August 30th, 2019 and connect more than 150 event organizers and buyers, project managers, and marketing creatives. During these three days, we will present the hottest topics in the field of event management. The versatile program will take the form of inspired workshops, fire talks with the leading professionals and a rich accompanying program.
The fourth Crossover, known for its relaxed concept that encourages mingling, networking, and informal learning, is hosting numerous international gurus of innovation in the fields of marketing and event management. One of the many exciting guests is Saša Begović, who is part of the team, which is changing the way hotel and congress venue managers think. Saša Begović is one of the most renown architects in the world and the numerous awards he received for his work are proof. In addition to working at his architecture bureau 3LHD, he is also a guest lecturer at various European and American universities, including Cornell University.
At the event, Saša will host a short lecture on how superior design and architecture influence the success of hotels and event venues. He will lead us through the definition of new luxury and the pressing topic of combining exquisite architecture with functionality. Additionally, the co-creator of the magnificent stories of Hotel Lone and Grand Park hotel in Rovinj, Croatia, will explain the benefits of integral collaboration of different creative industries in such projects.
The lecture will be especially interesting for architectural fans, all creatives and event managers, who are interested in the fierce and unforeseeable, along with hoteliers and new hotel project developers.
