HAPPY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY, CONVENTA!
Dear Conventa Participants
Ljubljana is a logistically stress-free conference destination
Tourism infrastructure has been modernized
s the host destination and a strong
partner of the main organiser
since its inception we, at Ljubljana
Tourism, do not perceive the
Conventa Show merely as an important regional
meeting industry business event that has
gradually established itself on the European
market. There is also an emotional side to
the story, as we have been involved in it from
the very beginning and feel privileged to
having been able to contribute to Conventa’s
development on its way to maturity over the
past few years.
A
Alongside, the meetings product in our city has
experienced quite some positive changes, the
highlights being the “Congress Ljubljana 2020”
development policy, which involved the key
suppliers in our city, as well as the creation of a
more formal partnership, named the Ljubljana
Strategic Bidding Team. This destination
alliance, coordinated by the Ljubljana
Convention Bureau, has brought together
the entire meeting industry supply chain,
now consisting of 24 partners, including the
Slovenian Convention Bureau. We have joined
forces with the strategic focus to attract more
international association congresses with 500+
delegates and to generally increase Ljubljana’s
competitiveness and visibility on the more and
more demanding international market. Last,
but not least, the ICCA statistics of international
association meetings for 2011, published in 2012,
has positioned Ljubljana as 50th on the global
city ranking, which we consider a success.
Over the last two years, Ljubljana has marked
several notable anniversaries, hosted a
number of special cultural and other events
of international significance, and saw the
completion of some among the largest projects
defined in its medium-term development
strategy. A number of them, aimed at improving
the city's functionality and the quality of life of
its residents and visitors alike, are still underway
in the city centre. The expansion of the trafficfree zone, the construction of underground
parking garages, the gradual landscaping of the
Ljubljanica riverbanks, which has just won the
European Prize for Public Open Space 2012,
and the further enforcement of green policies
are among the projects included in the city's
development vision and worked on intensively.
In the recent period, despite
the impact of the global financial crisis, Ljubljana has
seen significant investments
in the renovation of existing
conference and hotel facilities, as well as the opening
of new boutique hotels.
However, a city's image as a tourist and meeting
destination is also shaped by the human
dimension, which is what visitors from abroad,
including delegates attending conferences
and business meetings, appreciate highly in
Ljubljana. Meeting planners often say that it is
a logistically stress-free conference destination:
due to the city’s compact size, meeting venues,
accommodation facilities and many places of
interest to delegates are conveniently found at a
walking distance.
Ljubljana also has that extra something which
makes people feel relaxed. A recent social
experiment carried out by reporters of the
Reader's Digest shows
Ljubljana to be the world's
most honest city, the
Forbes magazine ranked it
fifth on the list of Europe's
most idyllic places to
live and it has also been
proclaimed as the safest
city in Eastern Europe.
Furthermore, the warm welcome, hospitality
and human touch that visitors experience when
attending an event in our city and country have
also received high ratings so far. And we always
strive to offer an added value to the basic
requirements, topped by an array of authentic
experiences. We do hope that Conventa’s
hosted buyers, business visitors and exhibitors
alike will be able to confirm our view.
In its distant history, Ljubljana has often been
a bridge between East and West, and North
to South. Ever since the time of the Romans,
it was at the crossroads of these important
routes. Now, with the Conventa Show, we feel
honoured that our city functions as a meeting
point again. Needless to say, we at Ljubljana
Tourism and its Convention Bureau wish
Conventa a Happy Birthday, a great success
and a bright future in many years to come!
his is the fifth edition of Conventa
show, which signifies Conventa is
a very successful project. It is a
project that has proven its potential!
Each year Conventa surpasses its scope by
offering something new and fresh to confirm
and strengthen its role as the central meeting
industry event in South East Europe.
T
The majority of international meeting industry
professionals visit Slovenia for the first time.
Hosting a modern and high
quality event, ensuring
a positive experience and
impressions about Slovenia
contribute to the fact
the participants become
international promoters of
Slovenia.
The Ministry of Economic Development
and Technologies is very much aware of the
importance of the meeting industry and the
development opportunities it creates. Tourism
infrastructure, including conference capacities,
has been thoroughly modernized with the support of European Founds.
The Ministry granted the
Slovenian Convention
Bureau the ‘public interest’
status seeing it represents
the meeting industry at
the national level.
Each year the Ministry grants the Bureau together with the Slovenian Tourist Board annual
support for its activities, which have proven to
be well considered, efficient, modern and lasting. Therefore we will continue to encourage the
work of the Slovenian Convention Bureau also
in the future.
From this year onward we act under patronage
of "Spirit Slovenia" - Public Agency of Republic
of Slovenia for Entrepreneurship, Innovation,
Development, Investments and Tourism.
Spirit association brings
together the Public Agency
of Slovenia for Entrepreneurship and Foreign Investments, the Slovenian
Tourist Board and the
Public Agency for Technological Development.
The aim of merger is promotion of Slovenian
economy; whereas this quest for synergies is
perfectly in line with the goals of the meeting
industry.

OPPORTUNITIES
Conventa social and networking events
In addition to providing a business platform for
prescheduled one-to-one appointments, Conventa offers a wide range of social and networking events. On 15 January 2013, Conventa invites
the participants to attend the Welcome reception
held in Grand Hotel Union. Black and white
reduta, the traditional masquerade ball that was
one of the most exclusive events in Ljubljana in
the beginning of 20th century, serves as an inspiration for our first reception. Join us in creating a
carnival atmosphere and come dressed in black
and white.
Professional education
Conventa offers opportunities to gain in depth
knowledge, learn about best practice examples
and discuss the latest industry trends. On the
first day of Conventa, 15 January 2013, the
participants have a chance to attend a plenary
session titled “How best to work with European
agencies”. The session will explore what agencies
are looking for from destinations, DMCs, venues,
conventions hotels and CVBs. It will also answer
the question how to get an emerging destination
onto their radar.
The Official reception will be held on 16 January
2013 at 19.30 in Cankarjev dom. Guests will be
distinguished representatives of political and
economic society in South East Europe. Opening
speeches and award ceremony will be accompanied by music, exquisite food and a good glass of
wine. We will be rolling out the red carpet!
Conventa mingling
In the last hour of the show, the Conventa
participants are invited to Conventa mingling
that is designed to accelerate business introductions. Conventa mingling facilitates the meeting
of Conventa participants who may not have had
the opportunity to exchange information. The
participants have the opportunity to exchange
business cards and therefore expand their pool
of partners.
Meeting stars award
Meetings Star Award recognizes outstanding
achievements in the field of marketing destinations, congresses, events and meeting industry
service providers from South East Europe. The
award represents a noticeable recognition for
creativity, knowledge and work. The recipients of

programmes in the meetings industry calendar
and over 4.600 students have benefited from
the experience since it began in 2003. Students

Sustainability programme highlights 15
sustainable practices implemented at the

Conventa sustainability programme
Sustainability trends are shaping the meeting
industry. The Conventa show has been fully
committed to reduce the negative environmental impacts of the trade show by implementing
sustainable practices that add value to all participants and the local community.
The last editions of the Conventa trade show
have highlighted the importance of engaging
participants in sustainable event management.
A number of sustainable measures can be
implemented, however the question remains if
the participants notice and value them. The fifth
edition of Conventa wants to ensure the participants become aware of sustainable practices of
the trade show and therefore gain new ideas to
use in their future meetings and events. In 2013
Conventa thus introduces the Sustainability
programme designed to engage participants in
our sustainable endeavours.
The Sustainability programme highlights 15 sustainable practices implemented at the Conventa
show and invites the participants to follow these
actions. For instance, the participants are invited
to return their lanyards at the end of the trade
show, so they will be donated to the Care Centre
Draga, a residential care centre for people with
disabilities. The protégés will use these lanyards
to carry their special augmentative aids, which
help them express their thoughts, needs and
wants.
The participants, who will focus their attention
also on sustainable practices of the Conventa
show, deserve recognition for helping us achieve
our sustainability goals. Those, who will take a
moment and carry out at least three sustainable
initiatives, will enter our competition for a chance
to win sustainable experiences in the region of
South East Europe.
We kindly invite all Conventa participants to take
part in our sustainable endeavours and participate in Conventa sustainability programme. At
the trade show visit the Conventa Sustainability
Point stand to find instructions for your sustainable behaviour.

CONVENTA HOT SPOTS 2013
In January 2013 the Conventa show celebrates
its five-year anniversary. To mark the first editions
of the main regional trade show, the Conventa
programme is enriched with five novelties.
Presenting Conventa
case study
Each edition of the Conventa show has made an
important step in bringing together the meeting
industry of South East Europe and securing its
position on the global market. And in January
we wish to celebrate our achievements with our
meeting industry partners and friends.
CONVENTA HANDPRINT WALL
To celebrate the five-year anniversary Conventa
invites all participants to make their mark on the
handprint wall. The meeting industry professionals, visiting the show, have turned the vision
of a regional meeting industry trade show into
reality. To commemorate this success we invite
Conventa visitors to leave their handprint on the
Conventa wall at GR – Ljubljana Exhibition and
Convention Centre. The Conventa handprint wall
will therefore make a loving memory and freeze a
wonderful piece of time.
Introducing Conventa
mingling
The first novelty arises from need for more networking opportunities at trade shows. This year
the Conventa trade show therefore introduces
Conventa mingling that is designed to accelerate business introductions. In the last hour of
the show, the Conventa participants have the
opportunity to exchange business cards and
possibly additional information for a follow up
meeting. In this manner Conventa participants
can expand their pool of partners and gain additional exposure.
Launching Conventa
Mayors’ Forum
To politically highlight the economic and social
impact the meeting industry has on destinations,
Conventa invites mayors of South East Europe
to attend the first Conventa Mayors’ Forum. The
Forum provides an opportunity for mayors to
participate in the discussions about the importance of meeting industry for the destinations
and network with the participants. The Conventa
Mayors’ Forum therefore hopes to strengthen
the cooperation and consequently increase the
impact of meetings and events on the economy
of the destinations.
Hosting SEEPCO meeting
The third novelty aims to strengthen cooperation between respective companies in the region
to raise excellence in all destinations. Conventa
therefore hosts the second SEEPCO meeting that
connects South East European PCOs and gives
them an opportunity to exchange experience
and work together. In 2012 an initiative was
given to establish SEEPCO, a voluntary non-profit
professional organization that aims to extend the
promotion of PCOs and strengthen their position
in the region.

LJUBLJANA
The most beautiful
city in the world
Ljubljana has comparative advantages
and the experience necessary to occupy
a better position in the market of Eastern
and South-Eastern Europe in particular.
Analysis of the relevance and effectiveness
of competitiveness factors of the convention
destination, Ljubljana reveals that the
location factor, conference facilities and
outside congress activities, are assessed as
successful and are at the same time important
for the competitiveness of the destination.
Ljubljana less successfully meets the criteria of
accessibility, quality of service, information or
image, local support, accommodation facilities,
which are all rated as very important factors
of competitiveness. Given that it is precisely
these criteria that play an extremely important
role in choosing the destination and hence its
positioning on the international market, they
should be given more attention in the future.

Congress infrastructure 4.7
These are rated highly since Ljubljana is an appealing and attractive tourist destination with
a developed infrastructure and cultural offer as
well as high experiential value. The focus of this
is the Ljubljana castle and the medieval town.
Given the size of the city, it has an exceptional
cultural and historical diversity with over 15
museums, 41 galleries, 10 theatres and experientially diverse and varied natural hinterland.
Most of investments in the tourism sector in
recent years were aimed at improving the
congress infrastructure. With two top-level convention centres and a very well developed hotel
meetings offer, Ljubljana is the region’s leading
congress destination. Also positive is the operation of the Ljubljana Convention Bureau. Among
weaknesses we could count fluctuations in the
quality of service and lack of hotels availability
in the largest peak times.
General and transport infrastructure Subjective grade Natural and cultural factors 4.4
4.1
Through history the city has expanded organically and, consequently, the overall proportion
of infrastructure and transport is solidly regulated. Among the major shortcomings are still
the bad airline availability, the unused railway
infrastructure and poorly controlled stationary traffic. The city is extremely safe and in the
region one of the most sustainably-oriented.
4.4
In the past the tourist offer developed around
business tourists, so in Ljubljana hotels are missing a truly superior luxury hotel and recognisable international hotel chains. In the range
from 2 to 4 stars, the offer is wide and attractive
enough. The restaurant offer is solid, especially
in Ljubljana there are many green spaces that
offer plenty of opportunities for sports and recreational activities and incentive programmes.
4.4
Mostly Ljubljana makes a good first impression,
which is partially due to the consequence of the
burden with ‘”apriority” conceptions in the light
of the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Instead they
find a congress destination which friendly and
favourable to the congress industry while competitive in terms of price and quality at the same
time. Among all regional capitals it also has a
very good image that has also been strengthened thanks to the Conventa Trade Show.
Comparison with the region:
According to its conference and
accommodation infrastructure, Ljubljana
belongs to the group of capitals suitable for
medium-sized and smaller meetings (up to
2.500 participants). It is positioned side by
side with the new EU member states and
geographically in the region of the Western
Balkans. Thus, according to congress
stakeholders in Ljubljana the most competitive
destinations are Zagreb, Belgrade, Prague and
Budapest. Compared to the newer EU capitals
and countries of South East Europe, Ljubljana
is ranked in the second half. It is preceded
by Budapest and Vilnius, and we should also
highlight the rapid growth of Belgrade. While
most countries and cities in Europe, including
New York, recorded a minimal decrease in
the number of congresses, the cities in our
immediate vicinity, mainly from South East
Europe, recorded a fall on a smaller scale
or record growth. At the end of last year
in order to give Ljubljana a new sales and
promotional momentum, a partnership called
Ljubljana Strategic Bidding Team (LSBT),
was established; it is composed of interested
partners from both the private and public area.
International Congress guests, probably
because of the mighty shadow of Vienna, do
not expect much of Graz, but in the end, they
are pleasantly surprised. Graz has for many
years been a model of congress destination
marketing and management. If we look
from the perspective of public and private
infrastructure, Graz is the most developed
regional convention destination. Only five
years ago regional competitors would qualify
behind the second largest Austrian city,
but recently the gap has been significantly
reduced. The new capitals on the territory of
the former Yugoslavia have taken from it its
supremacy and because of this, on the ICCA
scale it is now ranked on lower places. The
centre of culture, cuisine, design, creativity,
technology and much more, which embodies
Graz is far from saying the last congress word.

Graz is in the centre of the green heart of Austria,
which gives it a character of interplay between
forests, of planar Graz fields and majestic mountains, crossing in the wine-growing hills. Cultural
diversity, rich history and connecting river Mura
have formed a highly experiential diversity, which
is reflected in the many opportunities for congress and incentive organisers and is therefore
among the highest ranked in the region.
Concerning the infrastructure Graz is still the
leading regional convention destination. With
more than 154 congress events and 46,000
participants it achieves excellent results and is
stable on charts ranking international events.
Graz can be regarded as felicitous convention
destination, which is a modern, dynamic and
internationally competitive. It is difficult to challenge it of any serious errors, just slightly poorer
image on the international scene.
General and transport infrastructure Subjective grade Natural and cultural factors 4.5
4.2
Transport and general infrastructure in Graz is excellent and according to results of the evaluation
the best in the region. A network of public transport is very well organised, the city has over 120
kilometres of bicycle lanes and parking system
is excellently arranged. It all appears very professional and tidy, also remarkable is the sense
of security with a high level of environmental
responsibility and awareness of the population.
Tourist infrastructure 4.3
Graz is a mature tourist destination that despite
the crisis records a steady growth of over-night
stays and tourist arrivals in all tourism segments.
This is due to a very clear positioning of the city
on three pillars as the capital of culture, cuisine
and knowledge. Graz has established itself as a
base for exploring Styria, which gives it an additional marketing momentum.
4.3
Environmental responsibility, orderly surroundings and infrastructure, cultural infrastructure,
city of design and creative industries are all ideal
humus for the development of congress tourism. City, key stakeholders and policies do not
lack creativity and strategic vision. Despite all
positive projects maybe it lacks some charisma
of a capital, making it need much energy to
fight even more successfully on the international convention scene. Otherwise, a beautiful
and practical convention destination.
Being the first is sometimes difficult. Graz was
among the first to develop the brand of the
destination, congress grants and many other
marketing innovations, from which other
regional convention bureaus drew inspiration.
However, former pupils have caught up and
in the field of branding and in some other
areas they have even moved ahead of their
teacher. Graz may not be the most seductive
convention destination, however, it could
be highlighted that Graz and Styria live with
congress tourism throughout the year. To this
a well developed infrastructure and additional
offer throughout the year, where tradition
combines with the present, and where
everyone can find an offer to their taste, their
needs and their budget. Graz with the focus
on green meetings will definitely find a right
answer to the ubiquitous crisis, which has not
bypassed even the congress tourism.

The hotel infrastructure with new acquisitions
fully satisfies modern congress guests and

In the region, Zagreb managed to best maintain
the Central European culture that is reminiscent
of Vienna and creates a special atmosphere. In
addition, it is a ‘pocket-friendly destination’ that
offers a lot for reasonable money. It is the ideal
combination of a metropolis with charm and a
small town atmosphere.
I predict a great congress future for Zagreb.
I estimate that in the international congress
market it is well established and in addition to
Ljubljana and Belgrade it represents the future
backbone of the continental congress tourism
of the region. All three cities are progressing
steadily on the charts of developed meetings
destinations; the final breakthrough of the
entire region is intertwined and dependent on
the marketing of major regional congress cities
in the international market.

In Croatia, Zagreb has a dominant image of a
business as well as a major congress destination.
This has also been adapted by the offer of hotels
with excellent congress facilities. A somewhat
worse score than competitive cities of the
region is due to the fact that Zagreb is without
a convention centre, construction of which has
been heralded since the public tender, which
was completed in 2007.

In the last ten years Croatia has radically
improved road infrastructure and thus its
accessibility. Significantly improved is also air
accessibility via Zagreb Airport, which accepts
over 40% of all air traffic in Croatia. We would,
however, like to see an early construction of
the new airport building as the existing one is
strongly outdated. Currently, Zagreb is lagging
behind in rail infrastructure the most. According
to municipal infrastructure, local transport and
sense of security, Zagreb can be classified into a
golden class among competing European cities.

Zagreb generally makes a good impression
on the visitor. The impression is sometimes
interrupted by ragged facades and sporadic
traffic chaos, which is the result of the size
of the city. Generally, the city is safe,
clean, comfortable and friendly to congress
participants. The good ratio between price
and quality is especially attractive; this has a
positive impact on the competitiveness of the
destination. It is not surprising that in the
last year Zagreb has become a true hit on the
Croatian tourist scene and no longer just a
transit stop on the way to the Adriatic. With
proper marketing and the development of
network of partners, Zagreb will continue to
position itself as the leading Croatian and
regional convention destination. As its main
advantage, I would highlight the compactness
and high quality of hotel accommodation,
which combined with cultural and historical
heritage, is the formula for success. Everything
is seasoned with the right dose of metropolitan
character and friendliness of the locals.

The Hotel Kempinski is, simply put, a great
hotel. After the renovation it not only offers
to guests superior services at Kempinski
standards, but also has a unique look and
style that reflects its legendary character and
Habsburg elegance. In addition, at the hotel
they understand the concept of hospitality at
the very highest level extremely well.

FLOP – NEGATIVE SURPRISES
It’s hard to find faults, perhaps the only
disturbing thing is the arrangement of the
coastal stretch, which with the quality of its
offer does not reflect the prestigious hotel, but
this is not the problem of the hotel, but rather
of the development of Portorose tourism. And
maybe also the prices of prestigious wines that
are overpriced on the otherwise exceptional
wine list.
TOP – POSITIVE SURPRISES
The hotel is an excellent choice for
automotive premieres. Because of the above
it is no surprise that the prestigious car
manufacturer Mercedes chose it for the global
launch of its A-Class model.awaken euphoria
because of architecture, but more because of
the functionality it offers. At the same time
The hotel is an excellent choice for business
and congress guests and is probably the
regional flagship in terms of service quality,
customer care, prestige and image. Staying
at the hotel is a special experience, with a
package that gives you a feeling of luxury.

FINAL APPEARANCE AND CREDIBILITY
Taste of congress organisers is unpredictable
and it is difficult to follow, but the selection
of the Grand Hotel Union is certainly perfect.
Due to excellent convention rooms, friendly
staff and the flexibility of course. Ljubljana
Congress offer is dominated by the Grand
Hotel Union. Top hotel for congress gourmets
and a true flag bearer of the Ljubljana’s hotel
congress offer since 1905.
FLOP - NEGATIVE SURPRISES
Little things in hotel rooms. Materials
and textiles, As well as the equipment of
rooms could be modernised.
TOP - POSITIVE SURPRISES
Staff from the reception to waiters is
among friendlier and more recognisable.
Legendary nostalgic café is one of the
Ljubljana’s restaurant and cultural institutions,
renowned for its cabaret and variety show
performances.
RESULTS
At the Hotel Dubrovnik Palace I wonder how
little is needed to move from being a solid
hotel to something special and collecting
numerous awards. Firstly, it is about the
quality of services, as well as about marketing
that was excellently prepared around the
hotel and is reflected in its increased profile.
According to the World Travel Awards jury,
something of a tourism Oscar, the hotel earned
the 2011 award for being the leading Croatian
hotel and spa resort. At the same time, we
wonder whether they are eligible for other
prizes. After visiting the hotel, it is clear that
the Hotel Dubrovnik Palace deserved the
award; to the highest category it does not lack
much, and depending on the assessment we
ranked it among the top premium congress
hotels in the region, where the emphasis is
not only on the environment but on quality.
In almost all respects a modern hotel and
definitely a good choice among the many
options in Dubrovnik.
Guests accustomed to 5-star standard
would expect a slightly higher standard in the
rooms and especially the bathrooms and upon
arrival at hotel (concierge).

Viidea - Publishing
lecture videos online
Strawberry Energy
Conference organization and academic publishing business is on the cusp
of a major transformation. In a few years, printed proceedings paper publishing is going to give way to online lecture videos. Once the technology
solves the problems of effortlessly re-creating genuine lecture hall experience, every conference organizer will seek for ways to extend their business
and put their conferences online.
In the process of publishing more than 10,000 lecture videos online, Viidea
had already figured out the optimal recipe to bring extra long-term value
to event organizers and help them assess the power of social networking,
while providing visitors a rich and engaging online lecture watching experience that gives them full control of their time and attention.
www.viidea.com
We are living in the digital connected world where there are more than 5
billion mobile phones and over 300 million music players. Considering that
this number will increase rapidly in the future, Strawberry energy created
“Strawberry Mini” as a portable solar charger for mobile devices such as
mobile phones, iPad/iPad, MP3 players, digital cameras...
“Strawberry Mini” collects energy from the Sun and transforms it into electrical, thus enabling passersby to charge their batteries for free. Thanks to its
smaller size, wheels and lack of need for an external power source, it is ideal
for almost any location. It has embedded touch screens which enables to
users to play games, while waiting the few minutes for their batteries to recharge. To make the whole experience more interactive, Strawberry energy
in cooperation with Serbia Convention Bureau have initiated “Strawberry
Events” concept, aiming MICE industry. We found an interesting way to
make destination marketing more “renewable” by installing this eco-greenad platform.

THE LAND OF HAYRACKS – THE FIRST OPEN-AIR
MUSEUM OF HAYRACKS IN THE WORLD
In one of the most innovative municipalities in
Slovenia, Šentrupert, a unique and internationally
recognised tourist destination was created. Its
primary mission is the preservation of Slovenian
cultural heritage – hayracks.
The Land of Hayracks, through which one can
walk among 19 various, some as even over 200
years old hayracks on an over 1 kilometre long
walking trail, is located on a 2.5 hectares large
area. It consists of three parts:
• The outdoor museum with hayracks, where
all 6 types of hayracks, which are known in the
Slovenian ethnic territory, are represented. They
were transferred to the location from the broader
Mirna Valley and restored according to classical
methods.
• Centre for the conservation of cultural
heritage as an important educational point
of diverse rural heritage carried out through
exhibitions, archives and events that will
contribute to the conservation of features of life
in rural areas.
At the Convention Centre, which was headquarters to the Slovenian Presidency of the European
Union, a real difference is created by experienced
organisers. The natural environment provides a
memorable relaxation, and business Hotel Kokra
a superior accommodation.
• “In situ” network of preserved wooden
buildings of intangible cultural heritage in the
Mirna Valley, which will connect various cultural
heritage at the basic sites into a comprehensive
offer.
Glass modernity in the middle
of nature
The Land of Hayracks which is located in the
countryside within the destination The Heart
of Slovenia (www.srce-slovenije.si) represents
a tourist, educational and cultural centre. In
addition to the basic infrastructure – hayracks, it
offers professional guided tours of the museum,
educational workshops, games for children
and adults, team building for companies and
organisations, international exhibitions, concerts,
fashion shows, special weddings, over-night stays
in the hayracks, facilities for campers and much
more.
The Brdo Estate has historically been a venue for
important governmental events. Renaissance
castle Brdo, villa Zois and other attractive premises in the middle of the superbly designed park
were in 2007 joined by the modern Congress
Centre, which was also the seat of the Slovenian
Presidency of the European Union. Behind glass
fronts of the building, which in architecturally
thoughtful way blends with the natural environment and the Alpine peaks in the background,
there are around 9 thousand m2 of premises.
Adjustable larger and smaller halls, meeting
rooms, business rooms, booths and halls offer an
excellent environment for large congresses and
conferences and for smaller meetings and work
conversations. The equipment is designed in
such a way to allow for a wide variety of layouts.
Superior custom-made
implementation
There are all devices for multimedia work, free
wireless access to the Internet throughout.
Interpretation booths for translators are
available, workplaces for journalists are arranged.
Depending on the needs of the event the
Convention Centre team can arrange for any
additional details. Experts, tested at events of the
highest protocol level, are advising in meetings
organisation - from the first talks through all the
way to flawless execution and to the final thanks
to participants. At any event special attention is
given so that it all corresponds to the organiser,
participants and content of the meeting.
Conventa
Catalogue
Staying with specific tastes
During the event chefs at Brdo can provide
everything from snacks, informal cocktail
receptions to comprehensive entertainment
both on the premises of the Congress Centre and
in selected and properly arranged other facilities
at Brdo. Participants can be accommodated at
the Kokra Hotel, which in addition to great rooms
and restaurant also offers a wellness centre.
The integrity of different
experiences
Park Brdo, with its natural features, with lakes
and a duck pond, with an elite restaurant Zois,
with the cottage Jezero (lake), a golf course and
many other venues, is also an excellent choice
for unusual motivational meetings! For special
meetings you can also select the Brdo Castle and
the nearby Castle Strmol.

Lake Bled
Inspiring in all seasons
LAŠKO AND ITS SURROUNDINGS
An excellent starting point for trips
and connecting with nature
The unforgettable scenery of Lake Bled is
characterised by an azure lake with a romantic
island and an ancient cliff-top castle towering
high above its refreshing waters. In this
beautiful town in the heart of Europe, people
find perfection and harmony filling them with
peace and life energy, and enabling them to
successfully tackle the challenges of everyday
life. Remote from everyday stress, yet modern
and competitive, Bled has long been a popular
meeting venue, with infrastructure, experience
and local knowledge enabling the smooth
organisation of high-level international and
domestic events. Due to the abundance of
natural and cultural heritage in the area, Bled
is also an ideal base for teambuildings and
incentives. There is no doubt, Bled is truly
inspiring.
The location of Bled on the edge of the Triglav
National Park and amidst beautiful scenery
beckons visitors to spend a day full of adventures
in the great outdoors. There are plentiful
possibilities for those wishing to get to know
the local cultural heritage, while the diverse
attractions of Slovenia, from the charming capital
of Ljubljana to the underground marvels of
Postojna and the sunny Mediterranean coast,
are all close at hand. Last but not least, Bled
has recently established itself as a premier
destination for gourmands, with some of the
most prominent contemporary Slovenian chefs
creating their masterpieces in the hotels and
restaurants of this Alpine jewel.

Bled’s largest convention centre, the Festival Hall,
can host meetings and other events with up to
500 participants. Break-out rooms are available
in the Festival Hall, as well nearby hotels, most
of which are only a short stroll away. Several of
these properties, including the elegant Grand
Hotel Toplice and the state-of-the-art four-star
Golf, Park, Lovec and Kompas Hotels, feature
modern meeting facilities, excellent cuisine and
reliable support services.

Laško lies almost in the heart of Slovenia and
was first mentioned many centuries ago. It is
surrounded by picturesque Posavsko hribovje
hills. The Laško area however includes genuine
and special places such as Rimske Toplice,
Jurklošter, Zidani Most and others. Laško is well
known for its brewing industry as it is home to
the largest brewery in Slovenia, whose brewing
tradition dates back to 1825. The discovery of
thermal water springs, whose healing properties
were well known to the ancient Romans, has
an even longer history. Backed with a wealth
of experience, the tradition is carried on today
through the modern wellness and spa offers of
the Thermana Laško and Rimske terme health
resorts.
The unspoilt and varied landscape of the Laško
area is the ideal starting point for trips and leisure
time activities in the heart of nature. There are
plenty of hiking trails and trails, suitable for
cycling, passing by various interesting sights.
You can discover the rich cultural heritage from
different periods in history and the mysterious
lives of the Carthusian monks. The local sacred
heritage with its centuries-old history is of a great
importance, as well. The colourful countryside
boasts agritourism and exhibition farms offering
delicious homemade food and art and craft
products. It is certainly worth taking a trip to
Laško beekeepers and having a guided tour
in the Laško Brewery including a beer tasting.
Moreover, you can get to know the Laško
beer brewing industry from a new, different,
entertaining and active aspect. A real adventure
is a motivation programme where you will take
on some tasks and discover the secrets of beer
brewing.

TOP 10 CAR LAUNCH DESTINATIONS IN SEE
Premieres of new vehicles and other automotive events are an
exceptional international promotion of a destination and an excellent
business opportunity for all participating. Organisers plan events carefully at least a year in advance, as it is necessary to obtain a number of
permits, to carefully select partners and choose a scenic route for the
test runs.
In the Editorial Board, we analysed the most suitable location
in South East Europe on the basis of the following criteria:
• over-night stay for min. 50 journalists in a 4 **** hotel
• parking for min. 50 cars
• min. 1500 m2 of space in the convention centre
• outdoor space for the presentation of vehicles
• service spaces for vehicles(washing and maintenance of
vehicles, security)
• additional culinary and incentive offer
• picturesque locations (coastal, mountain, urban roads and
motorways)
• good accessibility by air and proximity of airports
