The MICE Forum brings together destinations and event suppliers from Central and Eastern Europe with international event and congress planners. We are Host City and looking forward to this great event!
The event organisers and venue staff can't wait either! Here are a few lines about it:
"We are excited that one of our annual MICE events will be hosted in beautiful Dresden in 2023! Why Dresden? Because the city & the local partners simply nailed all of the important for us hosting criteria! First, it is a stunning destination within Central & Eastern Europe rich in culture, history, and MICE infrastructure! Once you visit, you fall in love with the architecture, the kindness of people, and professionalism of the local MICE suppliers, which is extremely important for any event planner! When it comes to the selection of the host destinations, we like to surprise our participants and we are convinced that hosting our event in Dresden will be an eye-opening experience for many event planners attending the forum! Lastly, we highly value the excitement and eagerness of the local partners to bring the event to their destinations! In our opinion, altogether, this is a recipe for a huge success!" says Alina Pomozova, Business Development Director at Europe Congress.
Ellen Sattler, Director of Sales at Bilderberg Bellevue Hotel Dresden says: "It is great and we are grateful to host and host the MCE Forum 2023 in Dresden. The event is a wonderful platform for the MICE industry. It deepens business relationships, new contacts are made and it promotes networking between vendors and agencies in the events industry. With an agenda of speed-dating meetings, various activities - such as sightseeing in the city or a cool party in the evening - variety and definitely a lot of fun is ensured. We are proud to present the beautiful diversity of Dresden and our Bilderberg Bellevue Hotel Dresden to all participants."
