The fifth edition of Convene, taking place from February 8 to 9 at the Lithuanian Exhibition and Congress Centre Litexpo in Vilnius, has boasted the event’s most exciting mix of hosted buyers, exhibitors and guest speakers leading the highly anticipated education programme.
Building on the success of past editions of the event, Convene 2017 has featured 165 hosted buyers from 27 countries (including Germany, Benelux, Scandinavia, the UK, France, Italy, Russia), and 87 exhibitors from the Baltic Sea region as well as guest exhibitors from the United Arab Emirates, Slovakia, Ukraine and Belarus. With such a diverse group of industry professionals, exhibitor and hosted buyer diaries got packed with some 3600 pre-scheduled meetings that have lead to numerous valuable networking opportunities over the two days of the event.
Jolanta Beniulienė, Director of the Vilnius Convention Bureau, is excited to see a year’s worth of planning culminate in another successful event, saying: «We’ve come into the fifth edition of Convene with a lot of momentum and are pleased to build on the overall quality of our event, which will ultimately benefit the development of our entire region’s industry».
Here runs an exclusive video-interview of Jolanta for Qualitytravel.
