ESAE was thrilled to join Switzerland Convention & Incentive Bureau (SCIB) for an immersive journey through Lausanne and Montreux, discovering first-hand how impactful, sustainable event planning can elevate Associations’ gatherings. 🌿 From exclusive tours of SwissTech Convention Center, The Olympic Museum, and the picturesque vineyards of Lavaux, the trip highlighted the country’s commitment to meaningful and #Swisstainable events. Incorporating sustainable practices and making events impactful isn’t just a trend; it’s a critical step for Associations aiming to make a lasting difference and foster trust with members, build community, and align with values that resonate across sectors. A huge thank you to the Switzerland Convention & Incentive Bureau (SCIB) and to Lausanne Montreux Congress for an experience that perfectly showcased Swiss excellence! 🌍

Real Stories, Real Inclusion: A Webinar You Can’t Miss! 🌐 Join Nathalie Cnops, Senior HR Manager at European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO), and Paolo Falcioni, Director General at APPLiA, as they share how their organisations are tackling these challenges and setting examples for a more inclusive future for our Organisations.
